Ocean acidification impacts bacteria–phytoplankton coupling at low-nutrient conditions
The oceans absorb about a quarter of the annually produced anthropogenic atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), resulting in a decrease in surface water pH, a process termed ocean acidification (OA). Surprisingly little is known about how OA affects the physiology of heterotrophic bacteria or the coupling of heterotrophic bacteria to phytoplankton when nutrients are limited. Previous experiments wer...
متن کاملNutrient dynamics in the deep blue sea.
For more than a century, oceanographers have studied the interactions between the photosynthetic production of organic matter and nutrient dynamics in the sea. This research has been field-oriented and transdisciplinary, occurring at the intersections of research in microbiology, physics, analytical chemistry, cell physiology and ecology. The global database derived from this collective effort ...
متن کاملThe significance of the episodic nature of atmospheric deposition to Low Nutrient Low Chlorophyll regions
In the vast Low Nutrient Low-Chlorophyll (LNLC) Ocean, the vertical nutrient supply from the subsurface to the sunlit surface waters is low, and atmospheric contribution of nutrients may be one order of magnitude greater over short timescales. The short turnover time of atmospheric Fe and N supply (<1month for nitrate) further supports deposition being an important source of nutrients in LNLC r...
متن کاملPelagic community production and carbon-nutrient stoichiometry under variable ocean acidification in an Arctic fjord
Net community production (NCP) and carbon to nutrient uptake ratios were studied during a large-scale mesocosm experiment on ocean acidification in Kongsfjorden, western Svalbard, during June–July 2010. Nutrient depleted fjord water with natural plankton assemblages, enclosed in nine mesocosms of ∼ 50 m3 in volume, was exposed to pCO2 levels ranging initially from 185 to 1420 μatm. NCP estimati...
متن کاملThe high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll regime of the ocean: limits on biomass and nitrate before and after iron enrichment
In high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) regions of the ocean, phytoplankton biomass remains low despite an abundance of major nutrients. Platt et al. [Proc. Roy. Soc. A 459 (2003) 1063] constructed a simple two-component (chlorophyll and nitrate) model of HNLC regions and used it to determine analytically the upper bound on chlorophyll and the lower bound on nitrate in terms of the bio-optical...
