A Time-Dose Response Model to Assess Diuron-Induced Photosynthesis Inhibition in Freshwater Biofilms

Contamination by herbicides is reported in most freshwater environments. These biologically active compounds may impact the non-target biota such as benthic biofilms, at the base of the trophic chain. In agricultural watersheds, herbicides occur as pulses in the system, and traditional dose-response...
