Heterotrophic nanoflagellate grazing facilitates subarctic Atlantic spring bloom development
(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 ... -
Microbial communities and processes in ice-covered Arctic waters of the northwestern Fram Strait (75 to 80° N) during the vernal pre-bloom phase
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-09-20)Marine microbial communities have been little studied in Arctic waters, especially during the winter–spring transition before the development of extensive phytoplankton blooms. This study investigated microbial plankton ... -
Winter−spring transition in the subarcticAtlantic: microbial response to deep mixingand pre-bloom production
(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 ...
