Light and temperature demands of marine benthic microalgae and seaweeds in polar regions (2009, background): “Based on these and other results from temperate regions and also stated by Cahoon (1999), the contribution of polar intertidal and subtidal microphytobenthos to total primary production has been underestimated and has to be revised.”
Isotopic evidence for phytoplankton as a major food source for macrobenthos on an intertidal sandflat in Ariake Sound, Japan (2005, background): “Cahoon (1999) summarized the maximum sediment chl a concentrations from a variety of locations and presented 128 mg m–2 as a mean value for temperate shores (water depth = 0 to 5 m).”
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON EXOPOLYMER PRODUCTION BY MARINE BENTHIC DIATOMS: DYNAMICS, CHANGES IN COMPOSITION, AND PATHWAYS OF PRODUCTION 1 (2004, background): “…b-D-glucopyranoside Benthic microalgae are abundant in many softsediment aquatic habitats (estuaries, shallow subtidal seas, coral reef flats, lakes, and rivers) and can contribute up to 50% of the total autotrophic production in some ecosystems (Cahoon 1999, Underwood and Kromkamp 1999).”
Carbon and nitrogen cycling on intertidal mudflats of a temperate Australian estuary. III. Sources of organic matter (2004, background): “The presence of chlorophytes and cyanobacteria has also been recorded in other MPB communities (Cahoon 1999), including intertidal sediments (Barranguet et al. 1997, Brotas & Plante-Cuny 1998).”
Annual cycle of microalgal biomass in a South African temporarily-open estuary: nutrient versus light limitation (2001, background): “…fraction of the total primary production and biomass, equaling or even exceeding that of phytoplankton in the overlying water column (Cadée & Hegeman 1974a,b, Lukatelich & McComb 1986, Fielding et al. 1988, Krom- kamp et al. 1995, Adams et al. 1999, Cahoon 1999, Perissinotto et al. 2001).”
Impacts of longline mussel farming on oxygen and nitrogen dynamics and biological communities of coastal sediments (2003, background): “production of the system (Sloth et al., 1996; Cahoon, 1999; Gillespie et al., 2000; Glud et al., 2002).”
Temperature effects on respiration and photosynthesis in three diatom-dominated benthic communities (2004, background): “In shallow waters, both variables change on a seasonal and a diel basis superimposed by tidal and weather-driven variations, all having an impact on the benthic micro- bial activity (Grant 1986, Cahoon 1999, Glud et al. 2002).”
Patterns in microphytobenthic primary productivity: Species‐specific variation in migratory rhythms and photosynthetic efficiency in mixed‐species biofilms (2005, background): “Estuarine microphytobenthos (MPB) can contribute up to 50% of the total estuarine carbon budgets (Sullivan and Moncrieff 1988; Cahoon 1999; Underwood and Kromkamp 1999) and are the major functional group of primary producers in turbid estuaries.”
Feeding of the bivalve Theora lubrica on benthic microalgae : isotopic evidence (2003, background): “…microalgae contribute a significant proportion of the total primary production in the subtidal part of estuaries via their resuspension and diffusion from the tidal flats (Shaffer & Sullivan 1988, Lucas et al. 2001) and/or in situ production on the subtidal bottom (Cahoon 1999, Blackford 2002).”
