Phytoplankton play a major role on Earth, impacting the global distribution and cycles of
carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and other elements, and structuring marine food webs. One …

Upwelling in eastern boundary current systems is a primary driver of ecosystem productivity.
Typically, peak upwelling occurs during spring and summer, but winter upwelling may also …

The relationship between phytoplankton cell size and abundance has long been known to
follow regular, predictable patterns in near steady-state ecosystems, but its origin has …

Phytoplankton size structure, a major determinant of trophic structure and biogeochemical
functioning in pelagic ecosystems, can be described by the slope of the size-abundance …

Air–sea exchange of elemental mercury (Hg0) is a critical component of the global
biogeochemical Hg cycle. To better understand variability in atmospheric and oceanic Hg0 …

Studies have suggested that, globally, lake and reservoir systems constitute large carbon
(C) sources. However, the drawdown zone where certain lake areas subject to water level …

Coral reefs are possible sinks for microbes; however, the removal mechanisms at play are
not well understood. Here, we characterize pelagic microbial groups at the CARMABI reef …

Primary productivity and subsequent carbon cycling in the coastal zone have a significant
impact on the global carbon budget. It is currently unclear how anthropogenic activity could …

Short‐term experiments indicate that seawater acidification can cause a decrease in the rate
of calcification by coccolithophores, but the relationship between carbonate chemistry and …

Understanding size-differential productivity characteristics of phytoplankton is important to
evaluating climate-driven environmental changes in marine ecosystems. In this study, we …
