Aquatic ecologists face challenges in identifying the general rules of the functioning of
ecosystems. A common framework, including freshwater, marine, benthic, and pelagic …

In many regions across the globe, extreme weather events such as storms have increased in
frequency, intensity, and duration due to climate change. Ecological theory predicts that …

Marine phytoplankton generate half of global primary production, making them essential to
ecosystem functioning and biogeochemical cycling. Though phytoplankton are …

PISCES-v2 is a biogeochemical model which simulates the lower trophic levels of marine
ecosystem (phytoplankton, microzooplankton and mesozooplankton) and the …

Concern is widely being published that the occurrence of toxic cyanobacteria is increasing
in consequence of climate change and eutrophication, substantially threatening human …

Temperature change and eutrophication are known to affect phytoplankton communities, but
relatively little is known about the effects of interactions between simultaneous changes of …

Phytoplankton size structure controls the trophic organization of planktonic communities and
their ability to export biogenic materials toward the ocean's interior. Our understanding of the …

Biodiversity of phytoplankton is important for ecosystem stability and marine
biogeochemistry. However, the large-scale patterns of diversity are not well understood and …

Mixotrophic plankton, which combine the uptake of inorganic resources and the ingestion of
living prey, are ubiquitous in marine ecosystems, but their integrated biogeochemical …

Anthropogenic climate change has shifted the biogeography and phenology of many
terrestrial and marine species. Marine phytoplankton communities appear sensitive to …
