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 …

Chlorophylls and carotenoids are commonly used as quantitative biomarkers for the
composition and biomass of marine phytoplankton. This chapter provides an overview of the …

To consider the relationship between chlorophyll a (Chl a) content and phytoplankton
growth and nutrient status, four phytoplankton species were grown in nitrogen (N)‐limited …

The marine laboratories in Plymouth have sampled at two principle sites in the Western
English Channel for over a century in open-shelf (station E1; 50° 02′ N, 4° 22′ W) and …

Several legislations worldwide require assessing the health status of marine ecosystems. In
Europe, the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive …

In a warming climate, differential shifts in the seasonal timing of predators and prey have
been suggested to lead to trophic “mismatches” that decouple primary, secondary and …

The ratio of two in situ optical measurements–chlorophyll fluorescence (Chl F) and optical
particulate backscattering (b bp)–varied with changes in phytoplankton community …

The use of in situ measurements is essential in the validation and evaluation of the
algorithms that provide coastal water quality data products from ocean colour satellite …

A bio-energetic model, based on the DEB theory exists for the Pacific oyster Crassostrea
gigas. Pouvreau et al.[Pouvreau, S., Bourles, Y., Lefebvre, S., Gangnery, A., Alunno-Bruscia …

To understand and quantify plankton community dynamics in the ocean, high‐resolution
models are needed to capture the temporal and spatial variations of physical, biological, and …
