Knauss legislative fellowships in Congress help build careers — and they're fun and educational. See our video and fact sheet for details.
The objectives of this project are: to establish mass-balance constraints on planktonic trophuc fluxes through simulation studies and measures of net community metabolism (NCM); to calculate nutrient export/input for Bay regions and seasons in relation to NCM; to estimate particulate organic (POM) deposition for specific seasons and Bay regions; to relate spatial/temporal variations in NCM and POM deposition to changes in plankton trophic dynamics.
