A turbulent diatom vs dinoflagellate phytoplankton biomass model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Phytoplankton blooms play an important role in global primary productivity and the dynamics of blooms are of interest to modellers. Diatom dominated phytoplankton blooms followed by dinoflagellate blooms are common in the Southern Benguela, and are often

The planktonic food web in the Gulf of Naples based on the analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Geospatial Variations in Phytoplankton Communities

open access: yes, 2021
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 ...

IDENTIFICATION OF RELEVANT TIME-SCALES IN NONEQUILIBRIUM COMMUNITY DYNAMICS - CONCLUSIONS FROM PHYTOPLANKTON SURVEYS [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
This paper is a reflection on J.B. Wilson's (1990) publication which presents an attempt to understand the development of terrestrial plant communities of New Zealand against twelve different explanations of Hutchinson's Paradox.

Exploring the key factors affecting the seasonal variation of phytoplankton in the coastal Yellow Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Marine phytoplankton play crucial roles in the ocean’s biological pump and have great impacts on global biogeochemical cycles, yet the knowledge of environmental variables controlling their seasonal dynamics needs to be improved further, especially in ...

Bivalve Grazing Can Shape Phytoplankton Communities [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2016
The ability of bivalve filter feeders to limit phytoplankton biomass in shallow waters is well-documented, but the role of bivalves in shaping phytoplankton communities is not. The coupled effect of bivalve grazing at the sediment-water interface and sinking of phytoplankton cells to that bottom filtration zone could influence the relative biomass of ...

Phytoplankton community of fouling on artificial structures in Makchachkala seaport conditions

open access: yesЮг России: экология, развитие, 2015
The contents structure and dynamics of phytoplankton community formation of fouling on artificial structures in the Dagestan coastal area of the Caspian sea are researched. The most intensive process of phytoplankton community formation has been noted in

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

The underlying causes and effects of phytoplankton seasonal turnover on resource use efficiency in freshwater lakes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The extent of intra‐annual turnover in phytoplankton communities is directly associated with the overall diversity. However, our understanding of the underlying causes and effects of intra‐annual turnover remains limited.

Morphology captures function in phytoplankton : a large-scale analysis of phytoplankton communities in relation to their environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Predicting phytoplankton community dynamics in detail seems an overwhelming task as there are so many species, and a myriad of combinations of potential conditioning factors.
