Seasonal variability and vertical distribution of autotrophic and heterotrophic picoplankton in the Central Red Sea [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
The Red Sea is characterized by higher temperatures and salinities than other oligotrophic tropical regions. Here, we investigated the vertical and seasonal variations in the abundance and biomass of autotrophic and heterotrophic picoplankton. Using flow

Allelopathic and Bloom-Forming Picocyanobacteria in a Changing World

Toxins, 2018
Picocyanobacteria are extremely important organisms in the world’s oceans and freshwater ecosystems. They play an essential role in primary production and their domination in phytoplankton biomass is common in both oligotrophic and eutrophic waters ...

Exploring nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses in Tara Oceans microbial metagenomes [PDF]

, 2013
Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) constitute a group of eukaryotic viruses that can have crucial ecological roles in the sea by accelerating the turnover of their unicellular hosts or by causing diseases in animals. To better characterize the

Synoptic relationships between surface Chlorophyll-a and diagnostic pigments specific to phytoplankton functional types [PDF]

, 2011
Error-quantified, synoptic-scale relationships between chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and phytoplankton pigment groups at the sea surface are presented. A total of ten pigment groups were considered to represent three Phytoplankton Size Classes (PSCs, micro ...

Spatial variation of picoplankton communities along a cascade reservoir system in Patagonia, Argentina

Journal of Limnology, 2021
In this study we explored how picoplankton community structure and diversity varied along three cascade oligo-mesotrophic reservoirs of the Limay River (Patagonia, Argentina): Alicura, Piedra del Águila and Ramos Mexía.

Picophytoplankton biomass distribution in the global ocean [PDF]

, 2012
The smallest marine phytoplankton, collectively termed picophytoplankton, have been routinely enumerated by flow cytometry since the late 1980s during cruises throughout most of the world ocean. We compiled a database of 40 946 data points, with separate

Temporal patterns of picoplankton abundance and metabolism on the western coast of the equatorial Atlantic Ocean

Ocean and Coastal Research
Picoplankton are central global carbon (C) cycling players and often dominate the ocean plankton communities, especially in low latitudes. Therefore, evaluating picoplankton temporal dynamics is critical to understanding microbial stocks and C fluxes in

The top layers of water bodies, a most important although relatively neglected piece of the biosphere plumbing

Scientia Marina, 2001
Reducing power from light is used by plant life in ways that shift along ecological succession. When nutrients are non limiting, growth prevails; when essential nutrients (in the first place P) become scarce, reducing power is applied somehow and ...
