• Phytoplankton succession and nitrogen utilization during the development of an upwelling bloom (2011, background): “Their size may be in part responsible for their tendency to bloom in upwelling regions because higher levels of turbulence are required to prevent sinking (Huisman & Sommeijer 2002).”
• Annual cycles and spring blooms in phytoplankton: don't abandon Sverdrup completely (2011, background): “Huisman & Sommeijer (2002) and Taylor & Ferrari (2011) argue that if K is below a critical value, then vertical mixing may not be strong enough to mix plankton throughout the mixed layer, and there is the potential for plankton to remain sufficiently high in the water column so that blooms may…”
• Phytoplankton motility and the competition for nutrients in the thermocline (2007, background): “The vertical mixing in these environments is thought to be a key aspect of diatom survival (Tooby et al. 1977, Margalef 1978, Huisman & Sommeijer 2002), with the generally negatively-buoyant, non-motile cells being dependent on turbulence to keep re-suspending them into the photic zone (Ross 2006).”
