Fecundity of marine planktonic copepods: global rates and patterns in relation to chlorophyll a, temperature and body weight (2004, background): “On a global scale, the percentage contribution of smaller phytoplankton (e.g. picoplankton) decreases dramatically as total phytoplankton biomass inreases (Agawin et al. 2000 and our Fig.”
Seasonal microbial processes in a high-latitude fjord (Kongsfjorden, Svalbard): I. Heterotrophic bacteria, picoplankton and nanoflagellates (2011, background): “The fast turnover in picoplankton cells may further result in a larger contribution to PP than their biomass suggests (Agawin et al. 2000).”
Regional impacts of iron-light colimitation in a global biogeochemical model (2009, methodology): “This formulation produces a cubic relationship between large and small plankton, consistent with the field data compilation of Agawin et al. (2000), and represents a fundamental building block both of our model and of the more complex TOPAZ biogeochemical model (Dunne et al.”
Alkaline phosphatase activity and regulation in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (2010, background): “2–2mm size range: Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, and picoeukaryotes) are predominant in abundance, biomass, and production (Agawin et al. 2000).”
Phytoplankton seasonal dynamics in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon: emphasis on the picoeukaryote community (2005, positive): “In warm and productive waters, the decreased contribution of picophytoplankton has been hypothesized to result from increased loss rates, such as strong grazing pressure (Agawin et al., 2000).”
Response of phytoplankton communities to increased anthropogenic influences (southwestern lagoon, New Caledonia) (2006, background): “This trend is in agreement with meta-analyses of data from various marine (e.g. Chisholm 1992, Agawin et al. 2000) and freshwater environments (Bell & Kalff 2001), although some of these trends may be corrupted by spurious correlations when chlorophyll is used to define the trophic status (Berges…”
Species-specific differences in phytoplankton responses to N and P enrichments and the N:P ratio in the Archipelago Sea, northern Baltic Sea (2004, neutral): “A decline of the relative contribution of picoplankton to the total autotrophic biomass as the total production increases has also been observed in other studies, both experimentally after nutrient additions, and in field conditions (Agawin et al., 2000).”
Mesozooplankton grazing effect on primary production: A global comparative analysis in marine ecosystems (2001, background): “Whereas a large proportion of this PP in unproductive systems is due to picoplanktonic organisms (550%, Agawin et al. 2000) and unavailable for most mesozooplanktonic groups, the rest of production may well be accessible.”
The Role of Autotrophic Picocyanobacteria in Calcite Precipitation in an Oligotrophic Lake (2004, background): “Cyanobacteria dominate the picoplankton community in most oligotrophic systems and are often more abundant than the larger components of the phytoplankton (Weisse 1993; Agawin et al. 2000; Stockner et al. 2000; Bell and Kalff 2001).”
Temperature influence on phytoplankton community growth rates (2016, background): “The very small phytoplankton that dominate the community in warm, stratified regions, where nutrients are typically scarce, are extremely efficient at taking up nutrients [Agawin et al., 2000; Raven, 1998].”
