372:. Li affirmed these findings by shipboard flow cytometric sorting of living phytoplankton cells labelled with radioactive carbon as a demonstration that bulk primary production could be recovered by a summation of measured contribution from phytoplankton constituents. Notably, the putative existence of these very small chlorophyll-bearing cells had been predicted by Li's co-author John Cullen in their multi-authored 1983 paper in which the deduction of "invisible photoautotrophs" was made based on "excess chlorophyll" as one possibility to reconcile the biomass budget of phytoplankton in the tropical Pacific Ocean
399:. The Bedford Basin Monitoring Program was designed to make weekly measurements of selected properties that characterize the physical, chemical, biological and optical environments of the water column. In time, this ocean monitoring site came to be regarded as the inshore terminus ("station zero") of the Halifax Line of the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program, a comprehensive shelf-wide oceanographic monitoring of Atlantic Canada. Using the long-term observations from Bedford Basin as a template, Li and Xosé Anxelu G. Morán established the Working Group on Phytoplankton and Microbial Ecology of the
