Chinese researchers have made substantial progresses in research on the harmful algal
bloom (HAB) species Phaeocystis globosa since the first P. globosa bloom outbreak in the …

The genus Phaeocystis is globally distributed, with blooms commonly occurring on
continental shelves. This unusual phytoplankter has two major morphologies: solitary cells …

Phytoplankton life forms, including unicells, colonies, pseudocolonies, and multicellular
organisms, span a huge size range. The smallest unicells are less than 1 µm3 (eg …

The worldwide colony-forming haptophyte phytoplankton Phaeocystis spp. are key
organisms in trophic and biogeochemical processes in the ocean. Many organisms from …

After the impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR), algal blooms in the sidearm
tributaries have resulted from increasing nutrient loads along the major tributaries. Field …

The Arctic Ocean is particularly affected by climate change, with changes in sea ice cover
expected to impact phytoplankton primary production. During the Green Edge expedition …

Climate change is affecting the hydrodynamics of the world's oceans. How these changes
will influence the productivity, distribution and abundance of phytoplankton communities is …

Phytoplankton community composition has important implications for upper-ocean
biogeochemistry and export production. The species composition of the phytoplankton …

Phytoplankton spring blooms are typical features in coastal seas and provide heterotrophic
bacteria with a rich blend of dissolved substrates. However, they are difficult to study in …

Accumulating research evidence has revealed that harmful algal blooms (HABs) can
substantially affect the community structures of phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria in …
