Abstract
In estuaries, the intensity of vertical mixing due to tides varies over a broad range of time scales. In the St. Lawrence Estuary, Canada, increased stability of the water column has 2 effects on the phytoplankton: a physiological effect in the form of a light-dependent increase in the photosynthetic capacity; a population response in the form of an increase in chlorophyll a variability.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
