To ascertain the response of phytoplankton size classes to changes in environmental
forcing, we determined size-fractionated biomass, carbon fixation and growth …

This study was aimed at identifying macroecological patterns in the relationship between
phytoplankton cell size, abundance and metabolism in 2 marine ecosystems characterised …

Modelling the size-abundance spectrum of phytoplankton has proven to be a very useful tool
for the analysis of physical–biological coupling and the vertical flux of carbon in oceanic …

Two meridional transects were conducted in the tropical and subtropical Atlantic to describe
(i) the spatial variability of total and size-fractionated (picophytoplankton and phytoplankton> …

A total of 94 vertical profiles of size-fractionated chlorophyll a concentration and primary
production rate were obtained along a meridional transect from the United Kingdom to the …

Structural changes in phytoplankton communities have large influence on marine elemental
cycling, food web dynamics and carbon export. Here we used data from two field …

The shape of the productivity–diversity relationship (PDR) for marine phytoplankton has
been suggested to be unimodal, that is, diversity peaking at intermediate levels of …

The macroecological relationships among marine phytoplankton total cell density,
community size structure and temperature have lacked a theoretical explanation. The tiniest …

The relation between trophic regime and phytoplankton composition and function in oceanic
systems is well accepted in oceanography. However, the relative dynamics and carbon …

Chen and Liu (2010) investigated the effects of cell size on phytoplankton-mass–specific
growth rate using a compilation of field measurements from surface waters around the world …
