Abstract
Variations in the distribution of diatom species in surface sediments mirror distinct hydrographic regimes on the Bering shelf. Spring salinity fronts divide the water column into four zones with different vertical structures and different productivity patterns. Four assemblages of diatoms can be distinguished in sediments underlying the zones.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
