The Manipulation of Physical, Chemical, and Biological Factors to Select Species from Natural Phytoplankton Communities

Phytoplankton competition and the resultant species succession is governed by physical, chemical, and biological factors. The ability to manipulate this succession of species at will by changing certain key factors is an important step in understanding interspecific competition. Controlled changes of speciescomposition also can be used to examine how changes in phytoplankton speciescomposition affect higher trophic levels.
