Plankton community properties determined by nutrients and size-selective feeding
The potential impacts of climate change on marine planktonic ecosystems remain difficult to predict. Climate forcing can alter nutrient availability and predator community composition, and here we show that these shifts may dramatically alter plankton trophic structure, size distributions and biomass. We modeled phytoplankton and zooplankton as a highly resolved size spectrum with size-dependen...
متن کاملModels of Plankton Biomass Spectra
The goal of this thesis is to study the causes and consequences of the size structure of marine planktonic ecosystems. To this end, a theoretical (continuous) size spectrum model was developed. Phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass is represented in the model as functions of their respective biomass size spectrums. Thus, the model allows the natural recovery of the continuous size spectrum for ...
متن کاملPotamoplankton size structure and taxonomic composition: Influence of river size and nutrient concentrations
We measured the size structure and taxonomic composition of phytoplankton in temperate rivers during base flows of summer to investigate the influence of river size, ambient nutrient concentration, and light availability on potamoplankton community structure. Algal biomass was measured in three size classes (2–20, 20–64, and .64 mm) by microscope enumeration of water samples collected in 31 riv...
متن کاملLimnol. Oceanogr., 44(3, part 2), 1999, 810–827
Anthropogenic alterations of nutrient inputs and food-web structure are two of the primary stressors affecting lake phytoplankton. This paper explores the independent and interactive effects of nutrients and food-web structure (as indexed by zooplankton size) on phytoplankton size structure by fitting time-series models to data from three lakes where both factors have been manipulated. I assess...
