Iron supply has been suggested to influence phytoplankton biomass, growth rate and
species composition, as well as primary productivity in both high and low NO 3− surface …

The ocean plays a central role in modulating the Earth's carbon cycle. Monitoring how the
ocean carbon cycle is changing is fundamental to managing climate change. Satellite …

We assembled a dataset of 14C‐based productivity measurements to understand the critical
variables required for accurate assessment of daily depth‐integrated phytoplankton carbon …

A global assessment of carbon flux in the world ocean is one of the major undertakings of
the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS). This has to be undertaken using historical in …

The element carbon plays a central role in climate and life on Earth. It is capable of moving
among the geosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere. This flow of …

Primary production by marine phytoplankton is one of the largest fluxes of carbon on our
planet. In the past few decades, considerable progress has been made in estimating global …

Natural variability of the maximum quantum yield of carbon fixation (φC max), as determined
from the initial slope of the photosynthesis-irradiance curve and from light absorption …

The photosynthesis‐irradiance (PE) relationship links indices of phytoplankton biomass (eg
chl) to rates of primary production. The PE curve can be characterized by two variables: the …

A bio-geochemical classification of the N. Atlantic Basin is presented according to which the
basin is first divided into four primary algal domains: Polar, West-Wind, Trades and Coastal …

Phytoplankton growth and productivity relies on light, multiple nutrients and temperature.
These combined factors constitute the 'integrated growth environment'. Since their …
