The Influence of Phytoplankton Primary Production on the Cycle of Biogenic Elements in the Coastal Waters off Sevastopol, Black Sea

The phytoplankton primary production and the biogenic elements content of the coastal waters off Sevastopol have been studied as a result of 2-year monitoring. It has been found that mineral phosphorus is a key factor of chemical limitation of the production processes. During primary production of o...

Description
Summary:The phytoplankton primary production and the biogenic elements content of the coastal waters off Sevastopol have been studied as a result of 2-year monitoring. It has been found that mineral phosphorus is a key factor of chemical limitation of the production processes. During primary production of organic matter, the habitat conditions for phytoplankton in the photic layer are in accordance with the Le Chatelier–Braun principle of negative feedback.
