On the occurrence and ecological features of deep chlorophyll maxima (DCM) in Spanish stratified lakes (2006, background): “Fennel & Boss (2003) have modelled this effect and predicted that biomass and chlorophyll maxima would be vertically separated because the former would be generated by balanced growth and losses, and the latter by photoacclimation.”
Phytoplankton growth and the interaction of light and temperature: A synthesis at the species and community level (2016, background): “Phytoplankton contribute nearly half of global primary production, are the base of the food web in aquatic environments, and play a critical role in the feedbacks of the global carbon cycle to anthropogenic forcing (Falkowski et al. 1998; Field et al. 1998).”
Spatio-temporal behaviour of the deep chlorophyll maximum in Mediterranean Sea: Development of a stochastic model for picophytoplankton dynamics (2012, methodology): “Here we extend recent phytoplankton models (Klausmeier and Litchman, 2001; Huisman et al., 2002, 2004; Fennel and Boss, 2003; Hodges and Rudnick, 2004) to show that the phytoplankton distributions, due to random changes, can exhibit fluctuations.”
Freshwater Microbiology: Biodiversity and Dynamic Interactions of Microorganisms in the Aquatic Environment (2005, background): “The increased chlorophyll/biomass ratio that occurs during photoadaptation also provides an explanation for sub-surface chlorophyll maxima which are frequently observed in the clear waters of oligotrophic lakes (Fennel and Boss, 2003).”
Beam attenuation and chlorophyll concentration as alternative optical indices of phytoplankton biomass (2006, unknown): “cp:chlorophyll ratios (cp*) vary through the water column in a manner consistent with photoacclimation to the vertical light gradient (Kitchen and Zaneveld, 1990; Mitchell and Kiefer, 1988; Mitchell and Holm-Hansen, 1991; Fennel and Boss, 2003),”
Carbon‐based ocean productivity and phytoplankton physiology from space (2005, background): “…and pigmentation has been indicated in the vertical dimension of the water column [e.g., Kiefer and Kremer, 1981;Kitchen and Zaneveld, 1990;Mitchell and Kiefer, 1988; Mitchell and Holm-Hansen, 1991; Fennel and Boss, 2003] and here is simply extended on a global scale to the horizontal dimension.”
