Patterns of environmental spatial structure lie at the heart of the most fundamental and
familiar patterns of diversity on Earth. Antarctica contains some of the strongest …

Phosphorus (P) is a required element for life. Its various chemical forms are found
throughout the lithosphere and hydrosphere, where they are acted on by numerous abiotic …

The surface water of the marine environment has traditionally been viewed as a nitrogen (N)
limited habitat, and this has guided the development of conceptual biogeochemical models …

Building on the classic depiction of the progression from a diatom to a dinoflagellate bloom
as a function of nutrients and turbulence, known as the “Margalef mandala”, a new …

In recent decades, it has been found useful to partition the pelagic environment using the
concept of biogeochemical provinces, or BGCPs, within each of which it is assumed that …

In his seminal 1961 paper 'The paradox of the plankton'Am Nat 95: 137-147, GE Hutchinson
asked why many species of phytoplankton can coexist while competing for a small number …

We assessed phytoplankton dynamics and its environmental control across the Canadian
High Arctic (CHA). Environmental (hydrographic, atmospheric, sea ice conditions) and …

In this paper, we review the state of the art and major challenges in current efforts to
incorporate biogeochemical functional groups into models that can be applied on basin …

We analyzed a large dataset of simultaneous measurements of phytoplankton pigments,
spectral specific absorption coefficient for phytoplankton [a*(λ)], and photosynthesis versus …

For more than a century, oceanographers have studied the interactions between the
photosynthetic production of organic matter and nutrient dynamics in the sea. This research …
