	note = {This study was launched to learn how important microalgae were to the productivity of Yaquina Bay, and to determine {\textquotedblleft}sediment nutrient fluxes in the microalgal dominated sediments{\textquotedblright} (p.51).  Microalgae on sediment are an important food source for benthic dwellers, and contribute nutrients to the water column when they decompose. The study examined seasonal nutrient fluxes, compared Yaquina Bay to other estuaries, and characterized the relationship between silica and nitrate in the Bay.  The study suggests that {\textquotedblleft}benthic microalgae control the nutrient fluxes to the water column" (p.59).},
