Cell size as a key determinant of phytoplankton metabolism and community structure
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 …

Significance of predation by protists in aquatic microbial food webs
EB Sherr, BF Sherr - Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, 2002 - Springer
Predation in aquatic microbial food webs is dominated by phagotrophic protists, yet these
microorganisms are still understudied compared to bacteria and phytoplankton. In pelagic …

Phytoplankton growth, microzooplankton grazing, and carbon cycling in marine systems
We present an analysis of the global impact of microplanktonic grazers on marine
phytoplankton and its implications for remineralization processes in the microbial …

Unimodal size scaling of phytoplankton growth and the size dependence of nutrient uptake and use
Phytoplankton size structure is key for the ecology and biogeochemistry of pelagic
ecosystems, but the relationship between cell size and maximum growth rate (μmax) is not …

Cell size as driver and sentinel of phytoplankton community structure and functioning
Body size is a decisive functional trait in many organisms, especially for phytoplankton,
which span several orders of magnitude in cell volume. Therefore, the analysis of size as a …

Transformation of dissolved and particulate materials on continental shelves influenced by large rivers: plume processes
The world's ten largest rivers transport approximately 40% of the fresh water and particulate
materials entering the ocean. The impact of large rivers is important on a …

Predictable and efficient carbon sequestration in the North Pacific Ocean supported by symbiotic nitrogen fixation
The atmospheric and deep sea reservoirs of carbon dioxide are linked via physical,
chemical, and biological processes. The last of these include photosynthesis, particle …

Empirical and mechanistic models for the particle export ratio
We present new empirical and mechanistic models for predicting the export of organic
carbon out of the surface ocean by sinking particles. To calibrate these models, we have …
