Quantitative importance, composition, and seasonal dynamics of protozoan communities in polyhaline versus freshwater intertidal sediments

Description : The quantitative importance and composition of protozoan communities was investigated in sandy and silty intertidal sediments of a polyhaline and a freshwater site in the Schelde estuary. Total biomass of the protozoans studied, integrated over the upper 4 cm of the sediment, ranged from 41 to 597 m...
