Seasonal dynamics of carbonate chemistry, nutrients and CO2 uptake in a sub-Arctic fjord
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2020 Environmental change can have a significant impact on biogeochemical cycles at high latitudes and be particularly important in ecologically valuable fjord ecosystems.

Net community production and gross primary production rates in the western equatorial Pacific [PDF]
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2010 Net community production (NCP) and gross primary production (GPP) are two key metrics for quantifying the biological carbon cycle. In this study, we present a detailed characterization of NCP and GPP in the western equatorial Pacific during August and September 2006.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 The annual North Atlantic phytoplankton bloom represents a hot spot of biological activity during which a significant fraction of net community production (NCP) can be partitioned into dissolved organic carbon (DOC).

Net community production in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea from glider and buoy measurements [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2022 The Mediterranean Sea comprises just 0.8 % of the global oceanic surface, yet considering its size, it is regarded as a disproportionately large sink for anthropogenic carbon due to its physical and biogeochemical characteristics.

Satellite estimates of net community production indicate predominance of net autotrophy in the Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Remote Sensing of Environment, 2015 There is ongoing debate as to whether the oligotrophic ocean is predominantly net autotrophic and acts as a CO2 sink, or net heterotrophic and therefore acts as a CO2 source to the atmosphere. This quantification is challenging, both spatially and temporally, due to the sparseness of measurements.

Review of algorithms estimating export production from satellite derived properties
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Whereas the vertical transport of biomass from productive surface waters to the deep ocean (the biological pump) is a critical component of the global carbon cycle, its magnitude and variability is poorly understood.

Net Community Production in a Productive Coastal Ocean From an Autonomous Buoyancy‐Driven Glider [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2019 AbstractNet community production (NCP), an analog of carbon export out of the surface ocean, is often estimated using budgets of dissolved oxygen. Accurate estimates of oxygen‐based NCP, especially in dynamic coastal regions, require constraints on vertical transport of water with O2 out of equilibrium with the atmosphere, nonsteady state change in the

Effects of elevated CO2 and nutrients on the community metabolism of a Cymodocea nodosa bed [PDF]
, 2016 We assessed the combined effects of elevated CO2 and nutrients on the metabolism of a benthic community dominated by the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa (Ucria) Ascherson in a mesocosm experiment. C. nodosa plants and their associated community were exposed to

Net community production and hypolimnetic nutrient regeneration in a Michigan lake1 [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 1986 Net community oxygen production in Third Sister Lake, Michigan, was calculated from concentration gradients, eddy diffusion, and gas flux at the lake surface. The trophogenic zone extended on average to 4.5 m from April to August. Vertical flux of dissolved P provided negligible support for the productivity during this time. Stoichiometries for biomass

Nematodes enhance plant growth and nutrient uptake under C and N-rich conditions [PDF]
, 2016 The role of soil fauna in crucial ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling remains poorly quantified, mainly because of the overly reductionistic approach adopted in most experimental studies.
