• Centennial decline in North Sea water clarity causes strong delay in phytoplankton bloom timing 

      Opdal, Anders Frugård; Lindemann, Christian; Aksnes, Dag Lorents (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-23)
      With climate warming, a widespread expectation is that events in spring, such as flowering, bird migrations, and insect bursts, will occur earlier because of increasing temperature. At high latitudes, increased ocean ...
    • Modelling approaches for capturing plankton diversity (MODIV), their societal applications and data needs 

      Acevedo-Trejos, Esteban; Cadier, Mathilde; Chakraborty, Subhendu; Chen, Bingzhang; Cheung, Shun Yan; Grigoratou, Maria; Guill, Christian; Hassenrück, Christiane; Kerimoglu, Onur; Klauschies, Toni; Lindemann, Christian; Palacz, Artur; Ryabov, Alexey; Scotti, Marco; Smith, S. Lan; Våge, Selina; Prowe, Friederike (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Ecosystem models need to capture biodiversity, because it is a fundamental determinant of food web dynamics and consequently of the cycling of energy and matter in ecosystems. In oceanic food webs, the plankton compartment ...
    • Scaling laws in phytoplankton nutrient uptake affinity 

      Lindemann, Christian; Fiksen, Øyvind; Andersen, Ken Haste; Aksnes, Dag Lorents (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03-11)
      Nutrient uptake affinity affects the competitive ability of microbial organisms at low nutrient concentrations. From the theory of diffusion limitation it follows that uptake affinity scales linearly with the cell radius. ...
    • Tracking freshwater browning and coastal water darkening from boreal forests to the Arctic Ocean 

      Opdal, Anders Martin Frugård; Andersen, Tom; Hessen, Dag Olav; Lindemann, Christian; Aksnes, Dag Lorents (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The forest cover of Northern Europe has been steadily expanding during the last 120 years. More terrestrial vegetation and carbon fixation leads to more export to surface waters. This may cause freshwater browning, as more ...
