Ecological Studies in the Middle Reach of Chesapeake Bay: Calvert Cliffs, Maryland (Lecture Notes on Coastal and Estuarine Studies)

This volume describes the major results and findings from a long-term study on the potential effects that the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant might have on the biology of the mid-portion of Chesapeake Bay. The data base is sufficiently large to permit characterization of dominant physical, chemical and biological processes in this portion of the Bay and it permits the exploration of the relationships between nutrient availability and primary production, between primary and secondary production and between climatic variation and biological response.
