The partitioning of organic matter (OM) between dissolved and particulate phases is an
important factor in determining the fate of organic carbon in the ocean. Dissolved organic …

The Baltic Sea is affected by a range of human induced environmental pressures such as
eutrophication. Here we synthesize the ongoing shift from diatom dominance toward more …

The reliable and efficient production of microalgae in large-scale commercial culture,
whether in open ponds or in closed photobioreactors, requires a good understanding of the …

Freshwater Ecology: Concepts and Environmental Applications is a general text covering
both basic and applied aspects of freshwater ecology and serves as an introduction to the …

During the Canada/US 1994 Arctic Ocean Section, algal biomass (Chlorophyll a) and
primary production were measured in the water column, at the ice-water interface and in the …

Publisher Summary This chapter explores that the pelagic food chain is mainly linear and
short, and there is a relatively close coupling between the primary production and the …

Although the principal source of marine organic matter is phytoplankton, experimental data
on carbon and nitrogen mass balance during their growth cycle are lacking. Phytoplankton …

A global assessment of carbon flux in the world ocean is one of the major undertakings of
the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS). This has to be undertaken using historical in …

Photoinhibition is an inevitable consequence of oxygenic photosynthesis. However, the
concept of a 'photoinhibition‐proof'plant in which photosystem II (PSII) is immune to …

The ability of microalgae to fix carbon dioxide and convert it into biofuels, foods and other
valuable products has drawn a lot of scientific attention in the last decades. In the last years …
