Synoptic Spatio-Temporal Variability of the Photosynthetic Productivity of Microphytobenthos and Phytoplankton in a Tidal Estuary

Tidal estuaries are regarded as highly important ecosystems, mostly due to their high primary productivity and associated role as carbon sinks. In these ecosystems, primary productivity is mainly due to the photosynthetic carbon fixation by phytoplankton and microphytobenthos. The productivity of th...
