Observations and theory have suggested that ocean fronts are ecological hotspots,
associated with higher diversity and biomass across many trophic levels. The hypothesis …

In temperate lakes, it is generally assumed that light rather than temperature constrains
phytoplankton growth in winter. Rapid winter warming and increasing observations of winter …

Phytoplanktonic organisms are particularly sensitive to environmental change, and, as they
represent a direct link between abiotic and biotic compartments within the marine food web …

The transport of plankton by highly dynamic (sub) mesoscale currents—often associated
with fronts and eddies—shapes the structure of plankton communities on the same time …

The spring phytoplankton bloom plays a major role in pelagic ecosystems; however, its
dynamics are not well understood due to insufficient, highly resolved observational data …

The annual phytoplankton bloom is an important marine event and its inter-annual variability
can be used to monitor changes in the pelagic ecosystem. In this context, the use of a bio …

The phenology of the winter–spring phytoplankton bloom in the Black Sea was investigated
on the basis of the satellite-derived chlorophyll concentration (Chl) for the recent 18-year …

Published more than 60 years ago in this Journal, the article in which Sverdrup proposed
the concept of critical depth to explain the initiation of the spring bloom in the North Atlantic …

Springtime in temperate lakes is characterized by a phytoplankton bloom, followed by a
grazing crustacean zooplankton bloom. Timing and species composition for both …

Nearly half of carbon fixation and primary production originates from marine phytoplankton,
and much of it occurs in episodic blooms in upwelling regimes. Here, we simulated blooms …
