Mechanisms and Factors Regulating the Uptake and Toxicity of Heavy Metals in Phytoplankton

Abstract

Our long-term research goal is to determine the influence of pollutant metals on the productivity and species composition of phytoplankton communities in coastal waters and to determine the role of algal metal uptake in controlling the particulate removal and biogeochemical cycling of metals.
