A plankton community: a zooplankton effect in phytoplankton dynamics [PDF]
The paper uses methods of mathematical modeling to estimate a zooplankton influence on the dynamics of phytoplankton abundance. We propose a three-component model of the "phytoplankton-zooplankton" community with discrete time, considering a ...

Lake phytoplankton communities are affected by environmental and spatial factors. We studied the relative importance of environmental and spatial factors on the phytoplankton community assembly in Lake Wuchang across three hydrological seasons, which ...

Phytoplankton community composition, and its dependency on environmental variation, are key to understanding marine primary production, processes of trophic transfer and the role of marine phytoplankton in global biogeochemical cycles.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is an ecologically fragile region. The changes in physicochemical parameters of water quality [PPOWQ] and land use types [LUT] in different regions will affect the phytoplankton community in rivers, thus threatening the ...

Interannual changes in summer phytoplankton community composition in relation to water mass variability in the East China Sea [PDF]
The surface distribution of the phytoplankton community was investigated in July 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2013 on the mid-shelf of the East China Sea (ECS), which is under the influence of Changjiang River Diluted Water (CDW) and the Kuroshio Current.

The Community Concept and the Phytoplankton
The community concept of terrestrial ecology is examined with particular reference to its application to phytoplankton dlstrlbutlon. I t IS suggested that it is more appropriate to regard phytoplankton distribution as entirely probabilistlc, comparable to a local situation in a tropical rain forest.

Geospatial Variations in Phytoplankton Communities
Chlorophyll a (Chl a) and phaeopigments a (Phaeo a) spatial distribution in the Western Black Sea was studied in relation to environmental factors and mesozooplankton community. For that purpose, CTD parameters, nutrients, chlorophyll pigments, and mesozooplankton total density and biomass were measured at 33 stations, distributed along the Romanian ...

Grazing Induced Shifts in Phytoplankton Cell Size Explain the Community Response to Nutrient Supply
Phytoplankton cell size is important for a multitude of functional traits such as growth rates, storage capabilities, and resistance to grazing.

This article discusses the recent ecological status of Lake Drūksiai, the former cooler of the INPP, based on phytoplankton assessment in 2011. The data of integrated long-term investigation of phytoplankton over a period of 31 years from the construction of the INPP till decommissioning are also provided. The operation of the INPP obviously influenced

Diel vertical migration (DVM) is a common behavior of many pelagic herbivorous zooplankton species in response to predation pressure. It is characterized by a twice daily habitat shift of the zooplankton species: staying in the epilimnion only during ...
