Abstract:Managing the marine ecosystem effectively requires studying the response of plankton community metabolism to warming. Moreover, warming caused by thermal discharge is known to significantly raise the water temperatures in the nuclear power plants. However, effects of thermal discharge on planktonic community metabolic characteristics, especially net community production, in surrounding waters remain poorly understood. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to analyze the characteristics of plankton community metab… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
