In shallow coastal ecosystems dominated by seagrasses, nutrients limit primary production under low nutrient (oligotrophic) condition while light becomes the limiting factor under high nutrient (eutrophic) condition. In the conceptual model given below, identify which group of primary producers (i.e. seagrasses, macroalgae, phytoplankton) corresponds to each of the line graphs by filling in the blank boxes. Explain your answer.
Use mathematical and computational thinking to extrapolate your measurements obtained from the grid area to the entire pool to determine the total algal biomass in this pool. Assume the area covered by algae is equivalent to 30% of the pool's surface area. Extrapolate the total algal biomass present in the pool from your data. Algal biomass collected: 0.162 g Area scraped: 0.772 m2 Pool surface area: 28 m2 Pool's estimated total algal biomass: Enter value.. g Hint
