Zooplankton grazing on Phaeocystis: a quantitative review and future challenges (2007, background): “It is generally assumed that a shift from single cell to colony may be part of Phaeocystis defense against grazing by microzooplankton (Weisse et al. 1994; Rousseau et al. 2000; Peperzak 2002; Schoemann et al. 2005).”
The carbohydrates of Phaeocystis and their degradation in the microbial food web (2007, background): “Generally, most of the biomass produced in Phaeocystis blooms is remineralized in the water column (Wassmann 1994, Rousseau et al. 2000 ) by heterotrophic bacteria.”
Carbohydrate production by phytoplankton and degradation in the marine microbial food web (2006, background): “recycled in the water column by bacteria (Wassmann, 1994; Brussaard et al., 1995; Rousseau et al., 2000), this vast carbon injection is a potential determinant of the magnitude and composition of the microbial community following a Phaeocystis bloom.”
Does Phaeocystis spp. contribute significantly to vertical export of organic carbon? (2007, background): “Carbon budgets for a Phaeocystis-dominated ecosystem off Belgium, suggests sedimentation to be of minor importance (Rousseau et al. 2000).”
Microzooplankton grazing in Phaeocystis and diatom-dominated waters in the southern North Sea in spring (2004, background): “These findings are supported by Rousseau et al. (2000), who reported that less than one-third of the microzooplankton production in Belgian coastal waters was consumed by copepods during the 1998 spring bloom.”
Phytoplankton sinking rates in the Rhine region of freshwater influence (2003, background): “In the present study, rates in excess of 1 m day–1 were measured at NW10 (Figure 3b), and the settling and sedimentation of P. globosa blooms have been described in this area (Savage and Hardy, 1934; Jennes and Duineveld, 1985; Cadée, 1996; Peperzak et al., 1998; Rousseau et al., 2000).”
Phaeocystis globosa (Prymnesiophyceae) and the planktonic food web: Feeding, growth, and trophic interactions among grazers (2001, background): “While field studies have shown that abundance of heterotrophic protozoans increases in response to Phaeocystis blooms (Davidson and Marchant 1992; Stoecker et al. 1995; Rousseau et al. 2000), measurements of ingestion and growth of the protozoans are rare.”
Biologically induced modification of seawater viscosity in the Eastern English Channel during a Phaeocystis globosa spring bloom (2006, result): “Observed phytoplankton dynamics revealed the succession of three distinct phytoplankton assemblages, in accordance with previous works done at the seasonal scale in Belgian coastal waters and in the Southern North Sea (Lancelot et al., 1991, 1998; Rousseau et al., 2000; Rousseau et al., 2002).”
Diatom succession, silicification and silicic acid availability in Belgian coastal waters (Southern North Sea) (2002, background): “Conversely, diatoms are present throughout the year and contribute significantly to the phytoplankton community throughout the vegetative season; this includes periods of Phaeocystis occurrence when ambient silicic acid is very low (Lancelot et al. 1998, Rousseau et al. 2000).”
Modelling diatom and Phaeocystis blooms and nutrient cycles in the Southern Bight of the North Sea: the MIRO model (2005, methodology): “While Rousseau et al. (2000) concluded that most of the 1998 spring NPP autolyses and flows through planktonic bacteria, MIRO estimates that some 14% of the spring NPP reaches the sediment as sinking cells and phytoplankton-derived detritus (Table 3).”
Phaeocystis blooms in the global ocean and their controlling mechanisms: a review (2005, background): “Carbon budget calculation over the vegetative period indicates that Phaeocystis sedimentation would be of little significance in this shallow coastal sea (Brussaard et al., 1995; Rousseau et al., 2000).”
