Modelling of autumn plankton bloom dynamics
A simple system of parametrically forced ordinary differential equations is used to model autumn phytoplankton blooms in temperate oceans by a mechanism involving deepening of the upper mixed layer. Blooms are triggered provided the increase in nutrients in the mixed layer is rapid within the first few days of deepening and provided light-limited phytoplankton growth rate is relatively high. Bl...
متن کاملHORIZONS Modelling emergent trophic strategies in plankton
Plankton are typically divided into phytoplankton and zooplankton in marine ecosystem models. Yet, most protists in the photic zone engage in some degree of phagotrophy, and it has been suggested that trophic strategy is really a continuum between pure phototrophs (phytoplankton) and pure phagotrophs (unicellular zooplankton). Such a continuum of trophic strategies is well represented by trait-...
متن کاملMathematical Modelling of Plankton-Oxygen Dynamics Under the Climate Change.
Ocean dynamics is known to have a strong effect on the global climate change and on the composition of the atmosphere. In particular, it is estimated that about 70% of the atmospheric oxygen is produced in the oceans due to the photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton. However, the rate of oxygen production depends on water temperature and hence can be affected by the global warming. In this pa...
متن کاملPlankton sinking and turbulence
To overcome sinking, plankton have devised various types of strategies. One is swimming, that is, an active, energy-consuming self-propulsion than can oppose gravitational sinking. Other phytoplankters can modify their buoyancy, becoming, at least for some time, positively buoyant. Others can exploit the turbulence in the mixed layer, using it to stay suspended for longer times. This latter opt...
متن کاملPlankton lattices and the role of chaos in plankton patchiness.
Spatiotemporal and interspecies irregularities in planktonic populations have been widely observed. Much research into the drivers of such plankton patches has been initiated over the past few decades but only recently have the dynamics of the interacting patches themselves been considered. We take a coupled lattice approach to model continuous-in-time plankton patch dynamics, as opposed to the...
