| Description | Analyses of the Washington State Department of Ecology’s long-term monitoring data indicate that changes in the cycling of organic material might occur that could affect phytoplankton, micro-zooplankton, and benthic communities. The long-term change has potential implications for marine food web structure, energy transfer, particle export, and higher trophic levels such as fish. A testable hypothesis is presented combining observations about the significance of energy flow through the microbial food web that determines the outcome of energy available for higher trophic levels. The poster was presented at the Salish Sea Ecosystem conference in Seattle, April 30 - May 2, 2014. |
