Chlorophyll in the White Sea

The biology and chemistry of land fast ice in the White Sea, Russia?A comparison of winter and spring conditions

“…So far, studies in the White Sea concerning hydrography, nutrient and biomass distribution (Howland et al 1999;Mordasova 1999), as well as investigations on phytoplankton-species distribution and succession (Shanin and Mikhajlovskij 1996;Berger et al 2001 and references therein), have focused mainly on ice-free seasons. Zhitina and Mikhajlovskij (1990) carried out studies during the winter season including sea ice, but concentrated only on species distribution.…”
