Interactions of anthropogenic stress factors on marine phytoplankton
*Correspondence: Kunshan Gao, State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science, Xiamen University (Xiang’An Campus), Xiang’An, Xiamen, Fujian 361102, China e-mail: [email protected] Phytoplankton are the main primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. Their biomass production and CO2 sequestration equals that of all terrestrial plants taken together. Phytoplankton productivity is controlled by...
متن کاملEffects of ultraviolet radiation on marine virus-phytoplankton interactions.
Abstract Ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is harmful to many biological systems and increased UVR, due to a reduced ozone layer, may have many unforeseen consequences. Viruses are the most abundant biological particles in the sea and are thought to play an important role in the structure and functioning of aquatic ecosystems. Although an increasing number of studies have been published durin...
متن کاملToxicity of atmospheric aerosols on marine phytoplankton.
Atmospheric aerosol deposition is an important source of nutrients and trace metals to the open ocean that can enhance ocean productivity and carbon sequestration and thus influence atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and climate. Using aerosol samples from different back trajectories in incubation experiments with natural communities, we demonstrate that the response of phytoplankton gro...
متن کاملEffects of CO2 Enrichment on Marine Phytoplankton
Rising atmospheric CO2 and deliberate CO2 sequestration in the ocean change seawater carbonate chemistry in a similar way, lowering seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration and carbonate saturation state and increasing dissolved CO2 concentration. These changes affect marine plankton in various ways. On the organismal level, a moderate increase in CO2 facilitates photosynthetic carbon fixation ...
متن کاملEmerging marine diseases--climate links and anthropogenic factors.
Mass mortalities due to disease outbreaks have recently affected major taxa in the oceans. For closely monitored groups like corals and marine mammals, reports of the frequency of epidemics and the number of new diseases have increased recently. A dramatic global increase in the severity of coral bleaching in 1997-98 is coincident with high El Niño temperatures. Such climate-mediated, physiolog...
