| Method |
Primary source Harrison and Platt (1980) abstract: "Seasonal variations in maximum specific production rate (assimilation number, [mg C photosynthetically-fixed (mg Chl a)^-1×hr^-1]) of natural phytoplankton from a shallow marine basin were studied in relation to environmental changes over a 22-month period." Primary source Côté and Platt (1983) abstract: "The day‐to‐day variations over a 70‐day period in the parameters describing the light‐saturation curve of natural assemblages of coastal marine phytoplankton were examined and related to changing environmental conditions." |
| Comments |
P.133 left column 2nd paragraph: "In marine phytoplankton, Harrison and Platt (1980 primary source) and Côté and Platt (1983 primary source) have shown that 50 % of the photosynthesis variations were due to temperature changes." Primary source Harrison and Platt (1980) abstract: "Assimilation number [mg C photosynthetically-fixed (mg Chl a)^-1×hr^-1] variations were considerable (>6 fold) and were correlated with both environmental and biological co-variates. Temperature was the most significant co-variate, accounting for 40% of the observed variation in assimilation number." |
