Effects of Environmental Factors and Their Interactions on Phytoplankton Growth

  • Chapter
Advances in Microbial Ecology

Part of the book series: Advances in Microbial Ecology ((AMIE,volume 6))

Abstract

The abundance and distribution of phytoplankton in the natural environment are regulated by various environmental factors, such as nutrient, light, and temperature. The effect, or stress, of each factor changes with time and space, and the relative importance of each factor also varies. Sometimes it is not difficult to identify the key factor controlling primary productivity, but quite frequently, it takes laborious efforts to discern the responsible environmental stress. This difficulty is due in good measure to the simultaneous action of more than one stress and is compounded by our general lack of understanding of the way one factor interplays with others in controlling growth.
