Distribution of phytoplankton functional types in high-nitrate low-chlorophyll waters in a new diagnostic ecological indicator model [PDF]
Modeling and monitoring plankton functional types (PFTs) is challenged by insufficient amount of field measurements to ground-truth both plankton models and bio-optical algorithms.

Emiliania huxleyi and climate change: a genetic and biogeographic investigation of bloom dynamics for a key phytoplankton species in the global carbon cycle [PDF]
Emiliania huxleyi is a ubiquitous coccolithophore present throughout the global ocean and capable of forming large blooms with significant effects on the global carbon cycle. Developing our understanding of E.

Plankton vertical migrations - Implications for the pelagic ecosystem [PDF]
Habitat selection is an important behavior of many organisms. The direction and strength of this behavior is often characterized as a result of a trade off between predator avoidance and obtaining resources. A characteristic example of this trade off may

A seasonal diary of phytoplankton in the North Atlantic [PDF]
In recent years new biological and physical controls have been suggested to drive phytoplankton bloom dynamics in the North Atlantic. A better understanding of the mechanisms driving primary production has potentially important implications for the ...

Physical constraints on phytoplankton in estuaries and shallow coastal waters
Highly dynamic aquatic systems have often been reported to support actively growing populations of phytoplankton. The partially-mixed, macrotidal, temperate estuary Southampton Water is no exception, with reports of frequent temporal patterns of spring ...

Phytoplankton community structure and water quality assessment in Xuanwu Lake, China
Phytoplankton community structure influences the water quality of freshwater lakes and attracts the attention worldwide. The physicochemical parameters including dissolved oxygen (DO), total nitrogen, total phosphorus, NH4+-N and CODMn and biological ...

Pelagic community production and carbon-nutrient stoichiometry under variable ocean acidification in an Arctic fjord [PDF]
Net community production (NCP) and carbon to nutrient uptake ratios were studied during a large-scale mesocosm experiment on ocean acidification in Kongsfjorden, western Svalbard, during June–July 2010. Nutrient depleted fjord water with natural plankton

Phytoplankton adaptation to marine ecosystems: insights into photophysiological functional diversity [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity of the photoprotective responses activated by phytoplankton at short temporal scales, i.e. the non-photochemical quenching of Chl a fluorescence (NPQ) associated with the xanthophyll cycle (XC ...
