Estimation of primary production from the light absorption of phytoplankton and photosynthetically active radiation in the South China Sea

A model was constructed to estimate Primary production (PP) and examine the effect of the dominant phytoplankton group on PP, using a dataset collected in 2019 in the South China Sea (SCS) based on phytoplankton absorption coefficient at 443nm [aph(443)] and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR)...
