Strong responses of Southern Ocean phytoplankton communities to volcanic ash [PDF]
Volcanic eruptions have been hypothesized as an iron supply mechanism for phytoplankton blooms; however, little direct evidence of stimulatory responses has been obtained in the field.

Seawater carbonate chemistry and community structure and function of phytoplankton community
The rise of atmospheric pCO2 has created a number of problems for marine ecosystem. In this study, we initially quantified the effects of elevated pCO2 on the group-specific mortality of phytoplankton in a natural community based on the results of ...

How does aquaculture activity affect phytoplankton functional groups in Gaoyou Lake, China
Aquaculture in lakes is an important human activity that could accelerate eutrophication. Its impacts on aquatic ecosystems have attracted extensive attention. This study was carried out in Gaoyou Lake, China.

Phytoplankton Biogeography and Community Stability in the Ocean
Despite enormous environmental variability linked to glacial/interglacial climates of the Pleistocene, we have recently shown that marine diatom communities evolved slowly through gradual changes over the past 1.5 million years. Identifying the causes of this ecological stability is key for understanding the mechanisms that control the tempo and mode ...

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

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.

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...
