Nutritive and photosynthetic ecology of subsurface chlorophyll maxima in Canadian Arctic waters
Assessments of carbon and nitrogen (N) assimilation in Canadian Arctic waters confirmed the large contribution of subsurface chlorophyll maxima (SCM) to total water-column production from spring to late fall. Although SCM communities showed acclimation to low irradiance and greater nitrate (NO&l...
