Phytoplankton spatial distribution in south San Francisco Bay: mesoscale and small-scale variability Phytoplankton spatial distribution in south San Francisco Bay: mesoscale and small-scale variability
Horizontal transects of surface salinity and in-vivo fluorescence indicate the existence of three distinct spatial regimes in South San Francisco Bay. A mid-Bay region of low phytoplankton biomass with little small-scale variance is bounded to the north and south by water masses having higher in-vivo fluorescence and enhanced small-scale variability. Autocorrelation analyses demonstrate...

Use of detrended correspondence analysis in evaluating factors controlling species composition of periphyton Use of detrended correspondence analysis in evaluating factors controlling species composition of periphyton
Detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) was evaluated for its usefulness in elucidating relationships among samples and among species of periphyton in an oligotrophic stream, and for its effectiveness in displaying major gradients where an experimental gradient (copper) affecting species composition was imposed. It was highly sensitive to differences among samples and consistently...
