Causes of zooplankton interannual variability at Station L4 in the English Channel

In addition, there are shorter series of copepod egg production, of phytoplankton species and environmental parameters. This project will assemble the observations in appropriate graphical form, both as a hard copy and on a website.

A 1D model of copepod egg production taking account of food type will be constructed, based on an existing model of phytoplankton seasonal succession and used to examine interannual variability at L4. The interannual population changes at the station will be examined using multi-variate analysis.
