Effects of Nutrients From the Water Column on the Growth of Benthic Microalgae in Permeable Sediments

In some continental shelf sediments integrated benthic microalgal biomass is greater than the integrated phytoplankton biomass in the overlying water column. In addition, benthic microalgae may account for up to 10% of the primary production responsible for the coastal fishery yield of the eastern U...
