Abstract The China Seas include the South China Sea, East China Sea, Yellow Sea, and
Bohai Sea. Located off the Northwestern Pacific margin, covering 4700000 km 2 from …

Picocyanobacteria make up half of the ocean's primary production, and they are subjected to
frequent viral infection. Viral lysis of picocyanobacteria is a major driving force converting …

Marine chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and its related fluorescent
components (FDOM), which are widely distributed but highly photobleached in the surface …

We investigated seasonal and spatial patterns of phytoplankton variability in the East China
Sea in order to understand biomass and compositional responses to environmental factors …

Seasonal variations in autotrophic and heterotrophic picoplankton community structure were
studied by flow cytometry at 3 shelf stations in the central Cantabrian Sea (southern Bay of …

We analyzed the composition and distribution of phytoplankton in relation to
physicochemical factors in the Changjiang (Yangtze River) Estuary and adjacent East China …

In this study, we examined possible impacts of the Yangtze River Three Gorges Dam (TGD),
the world largest hydroelectric construction, on the adjacent marine ecosystem of the East …

Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (AAPB) are an important bacterial group with
capability of harvesting light energy, and appear to have a particular role in the ocean's …

Dynamics of Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus, picoeukaryotes and heterotrophic bacteria
in the East China Sea, a marginal sea of the Northwest Pacific, were investigated by flow …

Background Phytoplankton blooms are frequent events in coastal areas and increase the
production of organic matter that initially shapes the growth of opportunistic heterotrophic …
