Abstract: The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive checklist on the composition and diversity of phytoplankton in the Sea of Oman and the Persian Gulf from 1979–2019 based on up-to-date, valid and accepted published research records many studies have been conducted on phytoplankton species in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman; however, there is not a comprehensive and complet...

The Çaygören Reservoir was sampled monthly from February 2007 to January 2009 at three stations to determine the relationships between the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) dynamics and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), ammonium-nitrogen (NH4-N), water discharge, water transparency, water temperature (T), specific conductance (SC) and pH. Thermal stratification occurred in the re...

Microbial potential uptake and regeneration rates of ammonium (NH4 ) were studied along a salinity gradient (salinities 0.2–34.4) in the Mississippi River plume during an extreme drought in spring 2000. Chlorophyll concentrations up to 30 g L 1 were highest in the lowand mid-salinity regions (salinities 8.5–28.2) and comparable to records of other years but extended over smaller areas than duri...

We propose a new operational definition for summer phytoplankton blooms based on station-specific chlorophyll a distributions. This definition has been applied to a large monitoring data set from the Kattegat, a shallow marginal sea affected by man-induced eutrophication, in order to describe spatial and temporal variations of summer blooms as well as their underlying cause. Blooms were associa...
