A Simple yet Accurate Method for the Estimation of the Biovolume of Planktonic Microorganisms.

Determining the biomass of microbial plankton is central to the study of fluxes of energy and materials in aquatic ecosystems. This is typically accomplished by applying proper volume-to-carbon conversion factors to group-specific abundances and biovolumes. A critical step in this approach is the ac...
