The Variation of Excess Base with Depth in the English Channel with reference to the Seasonal Consumption of Calcium by Plankton
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2009
Extract
In the English Channel in summer a small difference in specific alkalinity between the surface and bottom waters has been established by a statistical method. This is not due to re-solution of bottom deposits of calcium carbonate with which the water is supersaturated. It is attributed to removal of calcium from the surface waters by plankton and an attempt has been made to calculate the production of calcareous plankton.
