The micronutrient iron is now recognized to be important in regulating the magnitude and
dynamics of ocean primary productivity, making it an integral component of the ocean's …

Microbial activity is a fundamental component of oceanic nutrient cycles. Photosynthetic
microbes, collectively termed phytoplankton, are responsible for the vast majority of primary …

Here we describe, the longest microbial time-series analyzed to date using high-resolution
16S rRNA tag pyrosequencing of samples taken monthly over 6 years at a temperate marine …

Although algal blooms, including those considered toxic or harmful, can be natural
phenomena, the nature of the global problem of harmful algal blooms (HABs) has expanded …

The new edition of this widely respected text provides comprehensive and up-to-date
coverage of the effects of biological–physical interactions in the oceans from the microscopic …

Variability in the chlorophyll (chl) a‐specific absorption coefficients of living phytoplankton
aph*(λ) was analyzed using a data set including 815 spectra determined with the wet filter …

The rise of angiosperms during the Cretaceous period is often portrayed as coincident with a
dramatic drop in the diversity and abundance of many seed-free vascular plant lineages …

Diatoms are a major component of phytoplankton community. They tend to dominate under
natural high-nutrient concentrations, as well as during artificial Fe fertilisation experiments …

The sub-optimal growth of phytoplankton and the resulting persistence of unutilized plant
nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) in the surface waters of certain ocean regions has been a …

The marine nitrogen cycle is perhaps the most complex and therefore the most fascinating
among all biogeochemical cycles in the sea. As a limiting element for biological productivity …
