Heterogeneous distribution of plankton within the mixed layer and its implications for bloom formation in tropical seas
Calbet, Albert; Agersted, Mette Dalgaard; Kaartvedt, Stein; Møhl, Malene; Møller, Eva Friis; Enghoff-Poulsen, Søren; Paulsen, Maria Lund; Solberg, Ingrid; Tang, Kam W.; Tönnesson, Kajsa; Raitsos, Dionysios E.; Nielsen, Torkel Gissel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-11)Intensive sampling at the coastal waters of the central Red Sea during a period of thermal stratification, prior to the main seasonal bloom during winter, showed that vertical patches of prokaryotes and microplankton ... -
Heterotrophic nanoflagellate grazing facilitates subarctic Atlantic spring bloom development
Paulsen, Maria Lund; Riisgård, Karen; St. John, Mike; Thingstad, T. Frede; Nielsen, Torkel Gissel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The subarctic Atlantic phytoplankton spring bloom is one of the largest biological features of the ocean; however, processes initiating the bloom are still not well understood. We hypothesize that the microbial grazing ... -
Winter−spring transition in the subarcticAtlantic: microbial response to deep mixingand pre-bloom production
Paulsen, Maria Lund; Riisgaard, Karen; Frede, Thingstad; St. John, Mike; Nielsen, Torkel Gissel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-23)In temperate, subpolar and polar marine systems, the classical perception is that diatoms initiate the spring bloom and thereby mark the beginning of the productive season. Contrary to this view, we document an active ...
