Mediterranean climate and oceanography, and the periodic development of anoxic events (sapropels)
Mediterranean sapropels are layers with elevated organic carbon concentrations that
contrast with surrounding sediments, which are organic poor. Sapropels occur (quasi-) …

Growth, feeding and ecological roles of the mixotrophic and heterotrophic dinoflagellates in marine planktonic food webs
Planktonic mixotrophic and heterotrophic dinoflagellates are ubiquitous protists and often
abundant in marine environments. Recently many phototrophic dinoflagellate species have …

Production and dissolution of biogenic silica in the ocean: revised global estimates, comparison with regional data and relationship to biogenic sedimentation
We estimate the global rate of biogenic silica production in the ocean to be between 200
and 280× 1012 mol Si yr− 1. The upper limit is derived from information on the primary …

Growth physiology and fate of diatoms in the ocean: a review
Diatoms are a major component of phytoplankton community. They tend to dominate under
natural high-nutrient concentrations, as well as during artificial Fe fertilisation experiments …

A review of the Si cycle in the modern ocean: recent progress and missing gaps in the application of biogenic opal as a paleoproductivity proxy
Due to the major role played by diatoms in the biological pump of CO2, and to the presence
of silica-rich sediments in areas that play a major role in air–sea CO2 exchange (eg the …

Synthesis of iron fertilization experiments: from the iron age in the age of enlightenment
Comparison of eight iron experiments shows that maximum Chl a, the maximum DIC
removal, and the overall DIC/Fe efficiency all scale inversely with depth of the wind mixed …
