TLDR
The distribution of the variance of phytoplankton abundance in the mixed layer follows a minus-five-thirds power relationship over a range of length scales from 10 to 1000 m as discussed by the authors.About:

Spatial Scaling in Ecology
TL;DR: Acts in what Hutchinson (1965) has called the 'ecological theatre' are played out on various scales of space and time and to understand the drama, one must view it on the appropriate scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoplankton Community Ecology: The Role of Limiting Nutrients
TL;DR: In this article, the role of nutrients and spatial and temporal fluctuations in controlling the species composition, diversity, and seasonal succession of planktonic algal communities is summarized and synthesized.

Patterns and Processes in the Time-Space Scales of Plankton Distributions
TL;DR: For example, it is evident that organisms have aggregated, patchy distributions of abundance on a wide variety of space and time scales as mentioned in this paper, which can be easily seen in the terrestrial and littoral environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal Complexity of Plankton and Fish Dynamics
TL;DR: The results show that modeling by reaction-diffusion equations is an appropriate tool for investigating fundamental mechanisms of complex spatiotemporal plankton dynamics, fractal properties of planktivorous fish school movements, and their interrelationships.

Spectral Analysis in Ecology
Trevor Platt,Kenneth L. Denman +1 more
TL;DR: A new foundation for a theoretical biology has been proposed based on nonlinear statistical mechanics, which identifies as the most important characteristic of complex systems the property' that the differential equations describing the functional relationships between the system components be of the nonlinear kind.

The Local Structure of Turbulence in Incompressible Viscous Fluid for Very Large Reynolds' Numbers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of finding the components of the velocity at every point of a point with rectangular cartesian coordinates x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4, x 5, x 6, x 7, x 8.

A method for the determination of phytoplankton chlorophyll and phaeophytin by fluorescence
TL;DR: In this article, the concentration of chlorophyll and phaeophytin was measured in 85% acetone extracts using a sensitive fluorometer. The method is very sensitive in the 10 fluorescence units are equal to 0·001 O.D. 665 mμ 10 cm.

A method for the continuous measurement of in vivo chlorophyll concentration
TL;DR: In this article, a modified model III Turner fluorometer at sea was used to continuously measure chlorophyll from 0·04 to between 10 and 15 mg m −3, a range adequate for all open ocean studies.

Spatial Heterogeneity of Phytoplankton in a Near-Shore Environment
TL;DR: An analysis of variance model for phytoplankton distribution is described, which allows the partition of the variance of chlorophyll observations into effects due to differences between stations, to Differences between replicate samples at the same station, and to handling and analytical error.
