Nutrient and light conditions control phytoplankton division rates in the surface ocean and, it
is commonly believed, dictate when and where high concentrations, or blooms, of plankton …

Exploring climate and anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems requires an
understanding of how trophic components interact. However, integrative end-to-end …

MEDUSA-1.0 (Model of Ecosystem Dynamics, nutrient Utilisation, Sequestration and
Acidification) was developed as an" intermediate complexity" plankton ecosystem model to …

In this paper, we introduce the CSPS framework for the hierarchical assessment of aquatic
ecosystem models built on a range of metrics and characteristic signatures relevant to …

Abstract Marine Ecosystem Models (MEMs) provide a deeper understanding of marine
ecosystem dynamics. The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable …

We characterize the realized ecological niches of 133 phytoplankton taxa in the open ocean
based on observations from the MAREDAT initiative and a statistical species distribution …

Zooplankton may modify their feeding behavior in response to prey availability and
presence of predators with implications to populations of both predators and prey. Optimal …

The potential of marine ecosystems to adapt to ongoing environmental change is largely
unknown, making prediction of consequences for nutrient and carbon cycles particularly …

Assessing zooplankton grazing on phytoplankton is crucial to understand, model, and
predict the structure and dynamics of pelagic communities. Our hypothesis is that …

For nearly a century, functional reizes beingponse curves, which describe how predation
rates vary with prey density, have been a mainstay of ecological modelling. While originally …
