Journal ArticleDOI
Biogenic carbon flows through the planktonic food web of the Amundsen Gulf (Arctic Ocean): A synthesis of field measurements and inverse modeling analyses
Alexandre Forest,Jean-Éric Tremblay,Yves Gratton,Johannie Martin,Jonathan Gagnon,Gérald Darnis,Makoto Sampei,Louis Fortier,Mathieu Ardyna,Michel Gosselin,Hiroshi Hattori,Dan Nguyen,Roxane Maranger,Dolors Vaqué,Cèlia Marrasé,Carlos Pedrós-Alió,Amèlie Sallon,Christine Michel,Colleen T. E. Kellogg,Jody W. Deming,Elizabeth H. Shadwick,Helmuth Thomas,Heike Link,Philippe Archambault,Dieter Piepenburg +24 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a mass balance estimate of gross primary production (GPP) of 52.5 ± 12.5 g C m � 2 calculated using the drawdown of nitrate and dissolved inorganic C, and a seasonal f-ratio of 0.64.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particulate organic carbon fluxes on the slope of the Mackenzie Shelf (Beaufort Sea): Physical and biological forcing of shelf-basin exchanges
Alexandre Forest,Makoto Sampei,Hiroshi Hattori,Ryosuke Makabe,Hiroshi Sasaki,Mitsuo Fukuchi,Paul Wassmann,Louis Fortier +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, sediment traps and oceanographic sensors were moored from October 2003 to August 2004 over the 300- and 500-m isobaths on the slope of the Mackenzie Shelf (Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean).
Journal ArticleDOI
The annual cycle of particulate organic carbon export in Franklin Bay (Canadian Arctic): Environmental control and food web implications
Alexandre Forest,Makoto Sampei,Ryosuke Makabe,Hiroshi Sasaki,David G. Barber,Yves Gratton,Paul Wassmann,Louis Fortier +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of new production and resuspension in determining the nature and magnitude of the deep (210 m) particulate organic carbon (POC) flux from October 2003 to September 2004 in central Franklin Bay was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oceanographic structure drives the assembly processes of microbial eukaryotic communities
Adam Monier,Jérôme Comte,Marcel Babin,Alexandre Forest,Alexandre Forest,Atsushi Matsuoka,Atsushi Matsuoka,Connie Lovejoy +7 more
TL;DR: Results imply that displacement of Pacific waters to greater depth and increased terrigenous input may act as a control on SCM development and result in lower net summer primary production with a more heterotroph dominated eukaryotic microbial community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon biomass, elemental ratios (C:N) and stable isotopic composition (δ13C, δ15N) of dominant calanoid copepods during the winter-to-summer transition in the Amundsen Gulf (Arctic Ocean)
Alexandre Forest,Alexandre Forest,Virginie Galindo,Gérald Darnis,Simon Pineault,Catherine Lalande,Jean-Éric Tremblay,Louis Fortier +7 more
TL;DR: The results illustrate that Arctic calanoids respond quickly to any increase in primary production and can cope with changes in its nature and timing.
