Seasonal patterns in plankton communities in a pluriannual time series at a coastal Mediterranean site (Gulf of Naples): an attempt to discern recurrences and trends
The annual cycle of plankton was studied over 14 years from 1984 to 2000 at a coastal
station in the Gulf of Naples, with the aim of assessing seasonal patterns and interannual …
