Effects of power-plant generated contaminants on trophic relationships in Chesapeake Bay
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:676205
This project tested the hypothesis that shifts in phytoplankton species composition that occur when Chesapeake Bay phytoplankton communities are chronically exposed to low levels of toxic trace metals can lead to altered (reduced) flow of carbon to higher trophic levels of the conventional food web and increased movement of carbon through microbial food chains and degradation pathways.
