Towards a functional classification of the freshwater phytoplankton

C. S. Reynolds, Vera L. M. Huszar, Carla Kruk et al. · 1 May 2002

This paper considers the structure of freshwater phytoplankton assemblages and promotes a scheme of ‘vegetation recognition', based upon the functional associations of species represented in the plankton. These groups are often polyphyletic, recognizing commonly shared adaptive features, rather than common phylogeny, to be the key ecological driver. Thirty-one such associations are outlined and the basic…

An estimate of global primary production in the ocean from satellite radiometer data

Alan R. Longhurst, Shubha Sathyendranath, Trevor Platt et al. · 1 Jan 1995

An estimate of global net primary production in the ocean has been computed from the monthly mean near-surface chlorophyll fields for 1979–1986 obtained by the Nimbus 7 CZCS radiometer. Our model required information about the subsurface distribution of chlorophyll, the parameters of the photosynthesis-light relationship, the sun angle and cloudiness. The computations were partitioned among…

Phytoplankton in a changing world: cell size and elemental stoichiometry

Zoe V. Finkel, John Beardall, Kevin J. Flynn et al. · 28 Oct 2009

Global increases in atmospheric CO2 and temperature are associated with changes in ocean chemistry and circulation, altering light and nutrient regimes. Resulting changes in phytoplankton community structure are expected to have a cascading effect on primary and export production, food web dynamics and the structure of the marine food web as well the biogeochemical cycling…

Predation on Protozoa: its importance to zooplankton

Diane K. Stoecker, Judith M. Capuzzo · 1 Jan 1990

Protozoa are an important component of both the nano- and microplankton in marine and freshwater environments and are preyed upon by zooplankton, including suspension-feeding cope pods, some gelatinous zoopiankters and some first-feeding fish larvae. The clearance rates of suspension-feeding zooplankton for ciliates, in particular, are higher than for most phytoplankton. For at least some suspension-feeding…
