Notes
The annual diversity cycle in Raritan Bay net phytoplankton is described, using entrophy-related diversity indices. A theory of diversity change during succession is developed. Mean diversity levels in the estuary increased downbay in association with diminishing pollution, and the spatial pattern was strikingly related to general patterns of water mass circulation.
