Biomass in the upwelling areas along the northwest coast of Africa as viewed with ERTS-1 [PDF]

open access: yes
Light penetration in water is affected by plankton, algae, and dissolved and suspended matter. As a consequence, the composition of backscattered light from below the air-sea interface is determined by the nature of the constituents in the water column ...

Plastic: You Are Plankton and To Plankton You Shall Return

open access: yes
Today, I’m going to talk about public enemy number 1, plastic; and more specifically, I’ll tell you about their interaction with marine plankton. Plastic, from the Greek plastikos: which can be shaped, is a word that includes a multitude of products of different origin and chemical composition.

Global Warming and Plankton

open access: yes
Climate change could also affect the periodicity and intensity of upwellings, and have important consequences for the world’s major fisheries and overall productivity for the entire marine ecosystem. Warming of the oceans can lead to variations in the direction and intensity of currents and affect the distribution of marine species.

Timing of calcification and environmental variability determine pH proxy fidelity in coastal calcifying macroalgae

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐lived calcifying marine biota are increasingly used as paleo‐archives for reconstructing ocean pH. They enable exploration of the rate and magnitude of ocean acidification in shallow‐water ecosystems serving as proxies for environmental pH reconstruction.

Predictive links between microbial communities and biological oxygen utilization in the Arctic Ocean

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Microbial metabolism influences rates of net community production (NCP), exerting a direct biological control on marine oxygen and carbon fluxes. In the Arctic, it is increasingly important to understand and quantify this process, as ecological and oceanographic conditions shift due to changing climate.

Climate‐driven alterations of lake thermal regimes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Temperate lakes are undergoing climate‐driven alterations in their thermal regimes, changing their ecology. Previous efforts to understand temperature changes have overlooked multi‐dimensional temperature dynamics, missing complex shifts at high spatiotemporal resolutions across landscapes.

Redfield revisited: Insights into freshwater seston carbon : nitrogen : phosphorus stoichiometry

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Seston carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry plays a fundamental role in aquatic ecosystems, influencing nutrient cycling, primary and secondary production, and trophic interactions. In freshwater systems such as lakes, P limitation is more common, whereas in marine environments, N more frequently limits primary production,
