CHEMTAX-derived phytoplankton community structure associated with temperature fronts in the northeastern Arabian Sea (2015, background): “High grazing activity and export production of Phaeocystis bloom have been found to be species-dependent (Reigstad and Wassmann, 2007, see review by Schoemann et al., 2005).”
Seasonal microbial processes in a high-latitude fjord (Kongsfjorden, Svalbard): I. Heterotrophic bacteria, picoplankton and nanoflagellates (2011, background): “…(e.g. Verity et al. 1999; Rat’kova and Wassmann 2002; Not et al. 2005; Hodal and Kristiansen 2008), where single cells and colonies (up to 2 mm) of P. pouchetii can form massive blooms and occasionally contribute to downward Xux of carbon (Wassmann et al. 2005; Reigstad and Wassmann 2007).”
