Benthic Foraminifera biomass production in the western Baltic
The biomass (weight of protoplasm) and production of the major species of benthic Foraminifera was calculated for the "Hausgarten" area of Sonderforschungsbereich 95. Data from 440 samples collected between 1971 and 1975 were used for these calculations. Biomass production of Foraminifera...
