Similar growth potentials of cyanobacteria and algae explain their coexistence in desert soils [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn deserts that cover one-third of the Earth’s terrain, soil cyanobacteria and algae are key carbon dioxide (CO2) fixers because few other plants can tolerate intense solar radiation, prolonged desiccation, and extreme temperature shifts.

Types and Distribution of Bioactive Polyunsaturated Aldehydes in a Gradient from Mesotrophic to OligotrophicWaters in the Alborán Sea (Western Mediterranean) [PDF]
, 2020 Polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs) are bioactive molecules suggested as chemical defenses and infochemicals. In marine coastal habitats, diatoms reach high PUA production levels during bloom episodes.

New geometric models for calculation of microalgal biovolume
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2011 Biovolume calculation of micro algae is commonly used for the assessment in relative abundance (as biomass or carbon) of coexistent algae that vary in shape and/or size. Periphyton samples were obtained within a more general program, in fishery tanks and

Copepod Feeding Responses to Changes in Coccolithophore Size and Carbon Content
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Phytoplankton stoichiometry and cell size could result from both phenology and environmental change. Zooplankton graze on primary producers, and this drives both the balance of the ecosystem and the biogeochemical cycles.

Effect of large- and small- bodied zooplankton on phytoplankton in a eutrophic oxbow [PDF]
, 2005 Macrozooplankton and microzooplankton effects on the phytoplankton were measured in situ in a eutrophic lake. Indigenous phytoplankton were incubated for 5 days in 301 mesocosms with either the macro- and microzooplankton (complete), microzooplankton ...

Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2012 The estimation of biomass of planktonic algae can be done by two methods, the quantification of geometric biovolume and chlorophyll a. This work which considers as environmental scenario the Ayapel-Cordoba flood-plain lake, introduces (presents) the two
