Phytoplankton 2nd Ed 1989 - Arthur Donald Boney Emeritus Professor of Botany University of Glasgow
- PSU QK933.B66 1989
- pelagic zone: water column of the open ocean
p001 thallus, no organization into tissues such as vascular structure
p001 all algae contain chlorophyll a, a poor absorber of green light
p003 Red tides toxic dinoflagellates
p013 coccolith plates of calcium carbonate, perhaps protective against predation
p016 Primary production autotroph produces own food heterotroph consumes producers
- p017 Global primary production 1.4e14 to 1.8e14 kg/year dry matter, oceans only 35% of the total
why not 70%, proportional to ocean/land ratio? If land production remained the same, the total land plus ocean productivity could increase by a factor of 2.16 ... and that's before improving predation resistance and engineering new photosynthetic processes.
p018 PAR Photosynthetically active radiation
