Combatting cyanobacteria with hydrogen peroxide: a laboratory study on the consequences for phytoplankton community and diversity [PDF]
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 ...

Spatio-temporal dynamics of phytoplankton community in a well-mixed temperate estuary (Sado Estuary, Portugal) [PDF]
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]
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 produced by marine microbial communities remained mainly unexplored, especially small polar molecules ...

Storm impacts on phytoplankton community dynamics in lakes. [PDF]
AbstractIn 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 function. High winds and precipitation associated with storms can affect lakes via short‐term

Nutrient ratios driven by vertical stratification regulate phytoplankton community structure in the oligotrophic western Pacific Ocean [PDF]
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

Phytoplankton community dynamics as a metrics of shrimp healthy farming under intensive cultivation
In this study, the composition and temporal dynamics of phytoplankton communities were tracked in shrimp ponds of two crops with different health status (healthy or diseased) to explore the potential relationship between phytoplankton community dynamics ...

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