Abstract |
The study focused on the relationships of phytoplankton and microheterotrophs to the development and maintenance of anoxia in the mesohaline region of the Chesapeake Bay. From February to October 1985, a series of fourteen cruises was made on which water quality, nutrient concentrations, phytoplankton production, and metabolism were assessed. Phytoplankton production from February to May generates a quantity of organic matter more than adequate to cause oxygen decline in mid-bay deep waters. Water column consumption by microheterotrophs is a major contributor to the development of anoxia during the spring and early summer. |
