Light and nutrient control phytoplankton biomass responses to global change in northern lakes
Global Change Biology, 2019 Global change affects terrestrial loadings of colored dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nutrients to northern lakes. Still, little is known about how phytoplankton respond to changes in light and nutrient availability across gradients in lake DOC.

Phytoplankton as Key Mediators of the Biological Carbon Pump: Their Responses to a Changing Climate
, 2018 The world’s oceans are a major sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). The biological carbon pump plays a vital role in the net transfer of CO2 from the atmosphere to the oceans and then to the sediments, subsequently maintaining atmospheric CO2 at ...

Effects of Gamma Ray Bursts in Earth Biosphere
, 2009 We continue former work on the modeling of potential effects of Gamma Ray Bursts on Phanerozoic Earth. We focus on global biospheric effects of ozone depletion and show a first modeling of the spectral reduction of light by NO2 formed in the stratosphere.

The long‐term persistence of phytoplankton resting stages in aquatic ‘seed banks’
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2018 In the past decade, research on long‐term persistence of phytoplankton resting stages has intensified. Simultaneously, insight into life‐cycle variability in the diverse groups of phytoplankton has also increased.

Emergence of steady and oscillatory localized structures in a phytoplankton-nutrient model [PDF]
, 2011 Co-limitation of marine phytoplankton growth by light and nutrient, both of which are essential for phytoplankton, leads to complex dynamic behavior and a wide array of coherent patterns.
