Summary Of: F-ratioThe f-ratio is one such proxy... the f-ratio can also reveal important aspects of local ecosystem function... High f-ratio values are typically associated with productive ecosystems dominated by large... low f-ratio values are generally associated with low biomass... A fundamental assumption in this interpretation of the f-ratio is the spatial separation of primary production and nitrification... they do suggest that the f-ratio is not as straightforward a proxy for the biological pump as was once thought... some workers have proposed distinguishing between the f-ratio and the ratio of particulate export to primary production...Encyclodia Page On: F-ratio
