Manometric Assessment of interstitial microalgae production in two estuarine sediments.

abstract：:Environmental filtering and niche differentiation are processes proposed to drive community assembly, generating nonrandom patterns in community trait distributions. Despite the substantial intraspecific trait variation present in plant communities, most previous studies of trait-based community assembly have used spe...
