Phytoplankton growth and the interaction of light and temperature: A synthesis at the species and community level
Temperature strongly affects phytoplankton growth rates, but its effect on communities and
ecosystem processes is debated. Because phytoplankton are often limited by light …

Global picophytoplankton niche partitioning predicts overall positive response to ocean warming
Ocean phytoplankton biomass is predicted to decline in Earth system models, due in large
part to an expansion of nutrient-deplete ocean regions. However, the representation of …

The diversity of small eukaryotic phytoplankton (≤ 3 μm) in marine ecosystems
Small cells dominate photosynthetic biomass and primary production in many marine
ecosystems. Traditionally, picoplankton refers to cells≤ 2 μm. Here we extend the size …
