Chemtax version 1.95 for calculating the taxonomic composition of phytoplankton populations
Entry ID: CHEMTAX

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: CHEMTAX V1.95
This program was written by Chris Boucher, assisted by Harry Higgins and Simon Wright, for the Australian Antarctic Division.
It is a stand-alone program that takes input from a Microsoft Excel worksheet.
It calculates the taxonomic composition of phytoplankton populations based on pigment data and a table of the expected taxonomic composition and pigment:chl a ratios entered by the ... View entire text
