This book presents an in-depth discussion of the biological and ecological geography of the
oceans. It synthesizes locally restricted studies of the ocean to generate a global geography …

Marine N 2 fixing microorganisms, termed diazotrophs, are a key functional group in marine
pelagic ecosystems. The biological fixation of dinitrogen (N 2) to bioavailable nitrogen …

To better understand seasonal variation in phytoplankton community structure in the East
China Sea (ECS), 4 research cruises were carried out between August 2009 and June 2011 …

Dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) concentrations in the oligotrophic surface waters of
the South China Sea decrease from∼ 20 nM in March 2000 to∼ 5 nM in July 2000, in …

Primary production and standing crop, as chlorophyll-a (chl-a), of Trichodesmium spp., and
other phytoplankton as well as the abundance and depth distribution of Trichodesmium …

Abstract The Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) programme is a series of bi-annual cruises
between the Falkland Islands (50° S) and the UK (50° N). Measurements of the abundance …

The Kuroshio edge exchange processes (KEEP) study is a multidisciplinary study on the
internal cycling of material, especially carbon, within the East China Sea Shelf and the …

The western boundary currents are characterized by abundant diazotrophs including
Trichodesmium, which may fuel N2 fixation when they intrude into marginal seas. The …

The globally distributed colonial cyanobacterium Trichodesmium and unicellular
diazotrophs including Crocosphaera together carry out the majority of marine biological …

We employ a global three‐dimensional model to simulate diverse phytoplanktonic
diazotrophs (nitrogen fixers) in the oceans. In the model, the structure of the marine …
