Light absorption and phytoplankton biomass in the Black Sea in spring 1995

Not searchable: no active landing/source_record/pid link.

Spectra of light absorption by suspended matter, phytoplankton, and detritus in the central and coastal parts of the Black Sea over the spring period (March-April 1995) were determined.

Description

Vertical homogeneity of the upper 40 m layer with respect to parameters in study was noted. Value of light absorption by phytoplankton normalized with respect to chlorophyll a was virtually independent of chlorophyll a concentration.

A linear relationship between light absorption by phytoplankton and chlorophyll a concentration was established at the red spectral maximum. It is described by the equation y = 0.0153x; R**2 = 0.61. The average ratio of absorption values in the peaks was 2.29.

Contribution of detritus to total light absorption at wavelength 440 nm was 23-62% regardless of depth and chlorophyll a concentration.
