Phytoplankton has been used as a paradigm for studies of coexistence of species since the publication of the “paradox of the plankton.” Although there are a wealth of studies about phytoplankton assemblages of lakes, reservoirs and rivers, our knowledge ...

Impacts of warming on phytoplankton abundance and phenology in a typical tropical marine ecosystem
In the tropics, thermal stratification (during warm conditions) may contribute to a shallowing of the mixed layer above the nutricline and a reduction in the transfer of nutrients to the surface lit-layer, ultimately limiting phytoplankton growth.

Abstract Continued human activity is expected to accelerate ocean deoxygenation, leading to the expansion and shallowing of oxygen‐deficient zones (ODZs). This decline in oxygen may impact both phytoplankton growth and trace metal uptake. We conducted culture experiments with Prochlorococcus MIT9313 and Synechococcus XM‐24, two numerically dominant ...

Mathematical formulation of the relationship between photosynthesis and light for phytoplankton
Eight different mathematical formulations of the photosynthesis—light curve for phytoplankton (up to and including light saturation) were recast in terms of the same two parameters: the initial slope α, and the assimilation number PmB.

The Evolution of Modern Eukaryotic Phytoplankton
The community structure and ecological function of contemporary marine ecosystems are critically dependent on eukaryotic phytoplankton. Although numerically inferior to cyanobacteria, these organisms are responsible for the majority of the flux of ...

Predictive links between microbial communities and biological oxygen utilization in the Arctic Ocean
Abstract Microbial metabolism influences rates of net community production (NCP), exerting a direct biological control on marine oxygen and carbon fluxes. In the Arctic, it is increasingly important to understand and quantify this process, as ecological and oceanographic conditions shift due to changing climate.

Short-term responses of littoral phytoplankton in a large shallow subtropical lake [PDF]
The littoral zone is an essential compartment for lake biota because of its high productivity and diversity. Moreover, phytoplankton is expected to have non-equilibrium dynamics on it.

Nutrient Addition Effects on Phytoplankton Communities in the Amazon River Plume [PDF]
The types and abundance of phytoplankton is largely controlled by availability of sunlight and bioavailable nutrients. Phytoplankton require essential nutrients including nitrate, phosphate, and silicate to grow, so understanding the role of these ...
