The ability to model algal productivity under transient conditions of light intensity and
temperature is critical for assessing the profitability and sustainability of full-scale algae …

Physiological acclimation to changes in light intensity and spectral quality is an important
factor determining variations in photosynthetic responses and growth rates of algae in …

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

The proportion of major elements in marine organic matter links cellular processes to global
nutrient, oxygen and carbon cycles. Differences in the C: N: P ratios of organic matter have …

A fast method has been proposed [Antoine and Morel, this issue] to compute the oceanic
primary production from the upper ocean chlorophyll‐like pigment concentration, as it can …

We describe a classification system for daily phytoplankton primary productivity models
based on four implicit levels of mathematical integration. Depth‐integrated productivity …

We describe the theory and practice of estimating photosynthetic rates from light‐stimulated
changes in the quantum yield of chlorophyll fluorescence. By means of a pump‐and‐probe …

We present an empirical model that describes the ratio of phytoplankton chlorophyll a to
carbon, Chl: C, as a function of temperature, daily irradiance, and nutrient‐limited growth …

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 …

Light is never distributed homogeneously since it forms a gradient over biomass. As a
consequence, the common theories on nutrient competition are not applicable to …
