Sustenance of phytoplankton in the subpolar North Atlantic during the winter through patchiness [PDF]
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 ...

Aim Based on a study comprising water reservoirs within the Brazilian Cerrado biome, we seek to answer the following question: how does phytoplankton communities respond to environmental, landscape, and spatial predictors? We expected local predictors to

Effect of large- and small- bodied zooplankton on phytoplankton in a eutrophic oxbow [PDF]
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 ...

The phytoplankton sinking rate in the eastern Indian Ocean was measured during spring 2017 based on the SETCOL method. The range of phytoplankton sinking rates was −0.291 to 2.188 md−1, with an average of 0.420 ± 0.646 md−1.

Phytoplankton dynamics in a changing Arctic Ocean
Changes in the Arctic atmosphere, cryosphere and Ocean are drastically altering the dynamics of phytoplankton, the base of marine ecosystems. This Review addresses four major complementary questions of ongoing Arctic Ocean changes and associated impacts ...

Phytoplankton Growth and Nutrients
Aims: We describe the different nutrients that phytoplankton require, their variation among phytoplankton groups and their different nutritional modes and acquisition mechanisms. We furthermore describe the consequences of nutrient scarcity and excess on competition among phytoplankton and the effects of anthropogenic nutrient enrichment on ...

Storm impacts on phytoplankton community dynamics in lakes
In many regions across the globe, extreme weather events such as storms have increased in frequency, intensity, and duration due to climate change. Ecological theory predicts that such extreme events should have large impacts on ecosystem structure and ...
