A dynamic model of photoadaptation in phytoplankton
We present a new dynamic model that uses a small number of prescribed parameters to predict the chlorophyll a:carbon ratio and growth rate of phytoplankton in both constant and varying irradiance. The model provides a self-contained description of energy and mass fluxes and regulation of partitioning of photosynthate during phytoplankton adaptation to irradiance. The kinetics and steady-state o...
متن کاملRelationships between vertical mixing and photoadaptation of phytoplankton: similarity criteria
In their natural environment, phytoplankton are exposed to fluctuations in incident irradiance due to vertical displacements in the water column induced by turbulent fluid motion. Physiological adaptation to these fluctuations results in variation in a number of measurable quantities (e.g. parameters of P-I curves, fluorescence yield, chemical composition), each of which have different time-sca...
متن کاملWhy marine phytoplankton calcify
Calcifying marine phytoplankton-coccolithophores- are some of the most successful yet enigmatic organisms in the ocean and are at risk from global change. To better understand how they will be affected, we need to know "why" coccolithophores calcify. We review coccolithophorid evolutionary history and cell biology as well as insights from recent experiments to provide a critical assessment of t...
متن کاملCopper uptake kinetics in diverse marine phytoplankton
We measured short-term uptake rates of copper using the gamma-emitting radioisotope 67Cu in seven algal species in natural and artificial seawater. Cellular net uptake of Cu was typically rapid over periods of 2–20 min. Net uptake ceased after about 60 min. The most copper-sensitive species examined, Synechococcus sp., exhibited 2–3 orders of magnitude higher carbon and surface-area–normalized ...
متن کاملPatterns of diversity in marine phytoplankton.
Spatial diversity gradients are a pervasive feature of life on Earth. We examined a global ocean circulation, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem model that indicated a decrease in phytoplankton diversity with increasing latitude, consistent with observations of many marine and terrestrial taxa. In the modeled subpolar oceans, seasonal variability of the environment led to competitive exclusion of p...
