@article { , title = {Microscale Variability in Biomass and Photosynthetic Activity of Microphytobenthos During a Spring-Neap Tidal Cycle}, abstract = {Carbon fixation by microphytobenthic algae of intertidal flats often dominates the total primary production of turbid, temperate estuaries. Whilst remote sensing can accurately measure the spatial distribution of photosynthetic biofilms at the mesoscale (1–300 m), variability at smaller scales requires in-situ investigation. Here, changes in biomass and photosynthetic activity of microphytobenthos (MPB) at the micro-scale (}, doi = {10.3389/fmars.2020.00562}, eissn = {2296-7745}, journal = {Frontiers in Marine Science}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Frontiers Media}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/3557897}, volume = {7}, keyword = {Specialist Research - Other, Energy, Environment and Sustainability, microphytobenthos, microscale variability, surface biofilm, photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll fluorescence, vertical migration, photosynthetic electron transport, estuary}, year = {2020}, author = {Kromkamp, Jacco C. and Morris, Ed and Forster, Rodney M.} }
