Global biogeochemical impacts of phytoplankton: a trait‐based perspective (2015, background): “Journal of Ecology © 2015 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 103, 1384–1396 relates extremely strongly with nutrient competitive traits (Litchman et al. 2007, Edwards et al. 2012; Mara~n on et al. 2012).”
Modelling spatial and temporal patterns in size-structured marine plankton communities: top -down and bottom -up controls (2014, background): “…these negative results, nutrient storage cap-acities relative to basal cellular requirements may scale differently for different elements (Litchman et al ., 2009; Edwards et al ., 2012), and hence we might have seen a stronger effect, if the Fe quotas had been allowed to vary with cell size.”
Ecological niches of open ocean phytoplankton taxa (2015, background): “Growth rate and nutrient affinity are broadly recognized as key traits for the competitive success of phytoplankton (Litchman and Klausmeier 2008; Edwards et al. 2012a) and are used to parameterize phytoplankton in many ecosystem models (e.g., Buitenhuis et al. 2010).”
Physical controls of variability in North Atlantic phytoplankton communities (2015, background): “For a given cell size, diatoms are able to grow relatively quickly, compared with other taxa, and have high affinities for nitrate and phosphate (Edwards et al. 2012).”
Phytoplankton niches, traits and eco-evolutionary responses to global environmental change (2012, unknown): “…, the physiological traits needed to parameterize niche models, such as the effects of changes in nutrient concentration , light, temperature, and salinity on fitness have been measured in a number of phytoplankton species (Litchman & Klausmeier 2008, Schwa derer et al. 2011, Edwards et al. 2012).”
From Elements to Function: Toward Unifying Ecological Stoichiometry and Trait-Based Ecology (2017, background): “…Hillebrand et al., 2013 Nutrient uptake Cell size Phytoplankton nutrient uptake affinities decline with increased cell size Irwin et al., 2006; Edwards et al., 2012 Growth rate Higher phytoplankton maximum growth rates with greater nutrient uptake affinity Edwards et al., 2012 Resistance to…”
A hierarchy of conceptual models of red-tide generation: Nutrition, behavior, and biological interactions (2015, background): “This indirect effect depends mainly on the biomass and physiology of the red-tide-forming species, as opposed to the biomass of the species it is affecting (Morel, 1987; Grover, 1989; Edwards et al., 2012).”
Dimensions of marine phytoplankton diversity (2019, background): “The smallest phytoplankton have the highest affinity for nutrients (Edwards et al., 2012) as a result of the lower surface-to-volume ratio found in larger cells (Kiorboe, 1993; Raven, 1994).”
