EPA2011 Microbial & nutrient database - Evaluating the ecological health of Puget Sound's pelagic foodweb

To evaluate effects of human influence on the health of Puget Sound's pelagic ecosystems, we propose a sampling program across multiple oceanographic basins measuring key attributes of the pelagic foodweb. We will quantify seasonal abundance and composition of pelagic biota from lower trophic levels (e.g., bacteria and phytoplankton) to middle trophic levels (e.g., zooplankton, small pelagic fi...

为评估人类活动对普吉特湾浮游生态系统的健康影响，本研究提出一项跨多个海洋学盆地的采样计划，旨在测量浮游食物网的关键属性。我们将量化从底层营养级（例如，细菌和浮游植物）到中层营养级（例如，浮游动物、小型浮游鱼类）的浮游生物的季节性丰度和组成。
