Marine ecosystem productivity in a gradient of toxic stress and the implications for higher trophic levels
In this PhD research, I want to examin to what extend persisten organic pollutants (POPs) affect primary production in the North Sea, relative to the effects of temperature and nutrients. Also, the implications of such effects for seabirds, i.e. a model for higher trophic level species, will be examined.
