Sustenance of phytoplankton in the subpolar North Atlantic during the winter through patchiness [PDF]
, 2017 This study investigates the influence of two factors that change the mixed layer depth and can potentially contribute to the phytoplankton sustenance over winter: 1) variability of air-sea fluxes and 2) three-dimensional processes arising from strong ...

Phytoplankton assemblage characteristics in recurrently fluctuating environments [PDF]
, 2015 Annual variations in biogeochemical and physical processes can lead to nutrient variability and seasonal patterns in phytoplankton productivity and assemblage structure.

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 ...

Evolutionary temperature compensation of carbon fixation in marine phytoplankton [PDF]
, 2020 The efficiency of carbon sequestration by the biological pump could decline in the coming decades because respiration tends to increase more with temperature than photosynthesis.

A Bibliography of Periodical Literature Relating to the Law of Historic Preservation [PDF]
, 1971 We evaluated the trade-off between foraging activity and predation risk for larvae of an anuran species presented with different types of food resources. In the laboratory we examined the effects of benthic and phytoplankton resources and the two types

Temporal and spatial variations in phytoplankton productivity in surface waters of a warm-temperate, monomictic lake in New Zealand [PDF]
, 2010 Surface phytoplankton productivity measurements were carried out in morphologically complex Lake Rotoiti with the objective of defining variations between sites and seasons, and the dominant environmental drivers of these variations.

Integrating functional diversity, food web processes, and biogeochemical carbon fluxes into a conceptual approach for modeling the upper ocean in a high-CO2 world [PDF]
, 2005 Marine food webs influence climate by channeling carbon below the permanent pycnocline, where it can be sequestered. Because most of the organic matter exported from the euphotic zone is remineralized within the "upper ocean" (i.e., the water column ...

Synthetizing hydrodynamic turbulence from noise: formalism and applications to plankton dynamics [PDF]
, 2003 We present an analytical scheme, easily implemented numerically, to generate synthetic Gaussian 2D turbulent flows by using linear stochastic partial differential equations, where the noise term acts as a random force of well-prescribed statistics.

Are marine diatoms favoured by high Si:N ratios? [PDF]
, 1994 Competition experiments were performed first with 4, then with 11 species of marine phytoplankton at various ratios of si1icate:nitrate and various light intensities.

Seasonal variation in marine C:N:P stoichiometry: can the composition of seston explain stable Redfield ratios? [PDF]
, 2011 Seston is suspended particulate organic matter, comprising a mixture of autotrophic, heterotrophic and detrital material. Despite variable proportions of these components, marine seston often exhibits relatively small deviations from the Redfield ratio ...
