• Changes in the structure and function of the North Sea fish foodweb, 1973–2000, and the impacts of fishing and climate (2005, background): “primary production based on nitrate assimilation rather than on recycled ammonia; Dugdale and Goering, 1967) has been estimated to be around 40 g Cm 2 y 1 in the Dogger Bank area (Richardson et al., 2000), and between 30 and 100 g Cm 2 y 1 in the North Sea as a whole (Steele, 1974; Richardson and Pe”
• Potential impacts of the spring-neap tidal cycle on shelf sea primary production. (2007, background): “…often has high f-ratios (Probyn et al., 1995) and is an important source of organic carbon to the ecosystem, thought to be comparable to the spring bloom in terms of its contribution to the total annual primary production in stratifying shelf seas (Richardson et al., 2000; Weston et al., 2005).”
• Phytoplankton motility and the competition for nutrients in the thermocline (2007, result): “This high sub-thermocline mixing resulted in high DIN fluxes from the BML into the thermocline, which, together with a constantly high surface irradiance, led to these high growth rates, which are comparable to but still slightly higher than estimates for the North Sea (Richardson et al. 2000, Westo”
• Effects of dietary fatty acids on the reproductive success of the calanoid copepod Temora longicornis (2005, background): “not great in this study (Table 4), mainly because the spring bloom occurred between two cruises and the North Sea has several summer phytoplankton blooms, both surface and subsurface ( Richardson et al. 2000 ).”
