Contents:
Chapter 1. Phytoplankton -- Chapter 2. Entrainment and distribution in the pelagic -- Chapter 3. Photosynthesis and carbon acquisition in phytoplankton -- Chapter 4. Nutrient uptake and assimilation in phytoplankton -- Chapter 5. Growth and replication of phytoplankton -- Chapter 6. Mortality and loss processes in phytoplankton -- Chapter 7. Community assembly in the plankton: pattern, process and dynamics -- Chapter 8. Phytoplankton ecology and aquatic ecosystems: mechanisms and management -- Glossary -- Units, symbols, and abbreviations -- References -- Index to lakes, rivers and seas -- Index to genera and species of phytoplankton -- Index to genera and species of other organisms -- General index.
Review: "Communities of microscopic plant life, or phytoplankton, dominate the Earth s aquatic ecosystems. This important new book by Colin Reynolds covers the adaptations, physiology and population dynamics of phytoplankton communities in lakes and rivers and oceans. It provides basic information on composition, morphology and physiology of the main phyletic groups represented in marine and freshwater systems and in addition reviews recent advances in community ecology, developing an appreciation of assembly processes, co-existence and competition, disturbance and diversity. Although focused on one group of organisms, the book develops many concepts relevant to ecology in the broadest sense, and as such will appeal to graduate students and researchers in ecology, limnology and oceanography."-- Book jacket.
