Zooplankton: Scales of Biological and Physical Events

  • Chapter
Marine Organisms as Indicators

Abstract

The way in which physical and biological events interact to control the distribution and abundance of oceanic organisms has been reviewed by a number of authors (e.g., Angel 1984, Mackas et al. 1985, Tett and Edwards 1984, Horne and Platt 1984, Denman and Powell 1984). Legendre and Demers (1984) have also surveyed the recent literature and pointed out that most studies:

“…recognize hydrodynamics as the driving force of aquatic ecosystems, so that the various physical, chemical, and biological factors of the environment are considered as the proximal agents through which hydrodynamic variability is transmitted to living organisms.”
