Spectral properties and population dynamics of the harmful dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides (Margalef) in southwestern Puerto Rico
(2008)
Recurrent blooms of the potentially ichthyotoxic dinoflagellate Cochlodinium
polykrikoides were observed since 1958 at Bahía Fosforescente, a bioluminescent bay in
southwestern Puerto Rico. Despite its potential deleterious ...
Assessment of coral reef community structure using water optical properties
(2008)
Measuring and monitoring the underwater light field is essential for coral reef
ecological assessments since the health of these communities are affected or influenced
by nutrients, sediments, and other materials that ...
Estimating primary productivity of red mangroves in southwestern Puerto Rico from remote sensing and field measurements
(2008)
Mangroves are considered dominant primary producers in many tropical
and subtropical coastlines. In recent years, modeling of primary productivity (PP)
and net primary productivity (NPP) in terrestrial ecosystems has ...
Evaluation and development of bio-optical algorithms for chlorophyll retrieval in western Puerto Rico
(2008)
A series of cruises were carried out in Mayagüez Bay from January, 1997, to January, 2004, with the purpose of studying phytoplankton dynamics, optically active water components and ultimately developing bio-optical ...
