	abstract = {Distributional patterns in assemblages of epiphytic and sediment-associated diatoms were investigated in Netarts Bay, Oregon. The method of reciprocal averaging revealed a floristic discontinuity between the epiphytic and sediment samples in ordination space. The basis for the discontinuity was the presence of a large number of sediment-associated taxa that were either very rare or not observed in the epiphytic samples. Within the sediment samples, the diatom flora formed a distributional continuum which had relatively high correlations with mean grain size, a sediment sorting coefficient, and the organic matter content of the sediment. A comparison of the flora in Netarts Bay with floras in other Oregon estuaries indicates that epiphytic, epilithic, and sediment-associated diatom assemblages do not exhibit conspicuous latitudinal changes along the coast of Oregon.},

	year = {1983},
	note = {"Final report to the Environmental Protection Agency In Reference to EPA Research Grant No. R806780"  This publication is concerned with "the mechanisms that control the production dynamics of benthic plants and associated epiphytes in Netarts Bay relative to physical processes and changing patterns of nutrient distribution." (from the Introduction) "Although scientists and other individuals interested in the production dynamics of benthic plants in estuaries may find this report an informative summary of our work during the project period, it is not intended to be a definitive publication and should not be evaluated as such. Instead, five manuscripts representing segments of the research presented in this report are in preparation for submission to refereed professional journals. The primary purpose of the final report is to integrate the various aspects of the research and to provide an outlet for the data that can be made available to other scientists."

	note = {Examined diatom assemblages in Netarts Bay. Collected samples at three sites from Feb.1980-Mar.1981. "A planktonic flora was observed only during periods of off-shore enrichment when marine neuritic species were abundant and were transported into the bay by tidal currents. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that epiphytic and benthic assemblages were distinct, with relatively little overlap in distribution of dominant taxa. The dynamics of the epiphyte assemblage were seasonal in nature, presumably related to the growth dynamics of the host plant (Zostera Merina) as well as to seasonal changes in the physical environment. Intertidal exposure gradients exerted little influence on the distribution of dominant epiphyte taxa. In contrast to the epiphytic flora, dominant benthic taxa demonstrated little seasonal variation in relative abundance." (from the Abstract)},

	abstract = {Epiphytic, planktonic and benthic diatom assemblages were investigated in Netarts Bay, Oregon. Samples were collected for a one year period from February 1980 to March 1981. A planktonic flora was observed only during periods of off-shore enrichment when marine neuritic species were abundant and were transported into the bay by tidal currents. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that epiphytic and benthic assemblages were distinct, with relatively little overlap in distribution of dominant taxa. The dynamics of the epiphyte assemblage were seasonal in nature, presumably related to the growth dynamics of the host plant (<i>Zostera marina</i>) as well as to seasonal changes in the physical environment. Intertidal exposure gradients exerted little influence on the distribution of dominant epiphyte taxa. In contrast to the epiphytic flora, dominant benthic taxa demonstrated little seasonal variation in relative abundance. The effects of intertidal exposure gradients on benthic diatoms were dependent on interactions with different sediment types. Benthic taxa in silty sediment were virtually unaffected by intertidal gradients while many taxa in sandy sediments had marked intertidal preferences. Most of the variation in the distribution and relative abundance of benthic taxa could be explained by the physical properties of the sediment, especially mean particle diameter, sediment organic content, and degree of sediment sorting.},
