Spatio-temporal dynamics of phytoplankton community in a well-mixed temperate estuary (Sado Estuary, Portugal) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Estuaries are highly productive ecosystems, which are strongly affected by several anthropogenic pressures. Phytoplankton is a key element for assessing the ecological quality status in these transitional waters.

Marine Community Metabolomes Carry Fingerprints of Phytoplankton Community Composition. [PDF]
mSystems, 2021 Microscopic phytoplankton transform 100 million tons of inorganic carbon into thousands of different organic compounds each day. The structure of each chemical is critical to its biological and ecosystem function, yet the diversity of biomolecules ...

Storm impacts on phytoplankton community dynamics in lakes. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2020 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 ...

Nutrient ratios driven by vertical stratification regulate phytoplankton community structure in the oligotrophic western Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2021 The stratification of the upper oligotrophic ocean has a direct impact on biogeochemistry by regulating the components of the upper-ocean environment that are critical to biological productivity, such as light availability for photosynthesis and nutrient

Environmental factors indirectly reduce phytoplankton community stability via functional diversity
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The biodiversity-stability relationship is a fundamental subject of ecological research. Considerable evidence demonstrates that biodiversity can either increase or decrease stability.

Phytoplankton community structuring and succession in a competition-neutral resource landscape. [PDF]
ISME Commun, 2021 Phytoplankton community composition and succession affect aquatic food webs and biogeochemistry. Resource competition is commonly viewed as an important governing factor for community structuring and this perception is imbedded in modern ecosystem models.

Combatting cyanobacteria with hydrogen peroxide: a laboratory study on the consequences for phytoplankton community and diversity [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Experiments with different phytoplankton densities in lake samples showed that a high biomass increases the rate of HP degradation and decreases the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide (HP) in the selective suppression of dominant cyanobacteria ...
