Grazers Fact Led Role Considered Practice Phytoplankton Feed

en Perhaps the fact that many of these first studies considered only algae of a size that could be collected in a net (net phytoplankton), a practice that over-looked the smaller phytoplankton (nannoplankton) that we now know grazers are most likely to feed on, led to a de-emphasis of the role of grazers in subsequent research.

解释: 句子的结构繁杂。句子的主语令人吃惊得长,在最后一个逗号后的led以前,全是主语!其实句子的主干简单,就是the fact led to a de-emphasis of the role of grazers。但是本句的主语the fact后面的修饰成分长的吓人,先是个定语从句;定语从句中又套了一个定语从句。然后逗号后面的a practice引导的部分是前面的主语的同位语兼作插入语,practice后面的修饰它一大堆东西又是定语从句套着定语从句。本句是典型的层层修饰的结构。
