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 …

Nutrient availability limits phytoplankton growth throughout much of the global ocean. Here
we synthesize available experimental data to identify three dominant nutrient limitation …

Nutrient supply regulates the activity of phytoplankton, but the global biogeography of
nutrient limitation and co-limitation is poorly understood. Prochlorococcus adapt to local …

Temperature and nutrient supply interactively control phytoplankton growth and productivity,
yet the role of these drivers together still has not been determined experimentally over large …

The macroecological relationships among marine phytoplankton total cell density,
community size structure and temperature have lacked a theoretical explanation. The tiniest …

Solar UV radiation, climate and other drivers of global change are undergoing significant
changes and models forecast that these changes will continue for the remainder of this …

Projected responses of ocean net primary productivity to climate change are highly
uncertain. Models suggest that the climate sensitivity of phytoplankton nutrient limitation in …

The universal temperature dependence of metabolic rates has been used to predict how
ocean biology will respond to ocean warming. Determining the temperature sensitivity of …

To determine the effects of Saharan dust on the abundance, biomass, community structure,
and metabolic activity of oceanic microbial plankton, we conducted eight bioassay …

It is well documented that the combination of low nitrogen and phosphorus resources can
lead to situations where colimitation of phytoplankton growth arises, yet the underlying …
