Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing importance of small phytoplankton in a warmer ocean
TL;DR: Two ecological rules are combined, the temperature-size relationship with the allometric size-scaling of population abundance to explain a remarkably consistent pattern of increasing picophytoplankton biomass with temperature over the ―0.6 to 22 °C range in a merged dataset obtained in the eastern and western temperate North Atlantic Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial growth in the polar oceans — role of temperature and potential impact of climate change
TL;DR: Previous reports in light of new data on microbial processes in the western Arctic Ocean and by comparing polar waters with low-latitude oceans are reviewed to resolve controversy about how temperature and the supply of organic carbon control bacterial growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resource limitation of bacterial production distorts the temperature dependence of oceanic carbon cycling.
TL;DR: Bacteria growth efficiency is not directly regulated by temperature, but by the availability of substrates for growth, and this work develops simple equations that can be used for the estimation of bacterial community metabolism from temperature, chlorophyll concentration, and bacterial abundance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal dynamics of picoplankton in shelf waters of the southern Bay of Biscay
TL;DR: Regardless of variations in abundance and group composition, the great constancy of the picoplanktonic contribution to integrated algal biomass over the seasonal cycle outlines the importance of picophytoplankton also in coastal zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissolved Primary Production and the Strength of Phytoplankton– Bacterioplankton Coupling in Contrasting Marine Regions
TL;DR: The data suggest that a strong dependence of bacteria on algal extracellular production is only expected in open-ocean environments isolated from coastal inputs of DOC.
