A decade of satellite ocean color observations. (2009, background): “Behrenfeld et al. (2006) showed that after the transition from low to high global production during the 1997– 1998 El Niño–La Niña, production at low and mid-latitudes during 1999 through 2005 steadily declined as surface stratification increased.”
Space‐based lidar measurements of global ocean carbon stocks (2013, background): “Over most of the permanently strati ﬁ ed ocean (roughly between 40°N and 40°S latitudes) [ Behrenfeld et al ., 2006], C phyto and POC concentrations are relatively low and stable over the annual cycle [ Siegel et al ., 2013].”
Warming leads to higher species turnover in a coastal ecosystem (2010, background): “…surface temperature (IPCC, 2007), it is mandatory to know how temperature affects ecosystem processes (Rustad et al., 2001; Verburg et al., 2003; Behrenfeld et al., 2006; Raich et al., 2006), community structure (Daufresne et al., 2004; Schiel et al., 2004; Klanderud & Totland, 2005) as well as…”
Impacts of climate change on fisheries (2010, background): “In high latitude regions the resultant increased stability of the water column may, however, have a positive effect on production in spite of reduced nutrient supply because phytoplankton will no longer be mixed down to depths greater than their compensation depth (the depth at which respiration los”
Decadal diet shift in yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares suggests broad-scale food web changes in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (2014, background): “The mechanism is recognized as increased upper-ocean temperature and vertical stratification, influencing the availability of nutrients for phytoplankton growth (Behrenfeld et al. 2006, Polovina et al. 2008).”
Happy Feet in a Hostile World? The Future of Penguins Depends on Proactive Management of Current and Expected Threats (2019, background): “Among climate variables, many studies have focused on sea surface temperature (SST) because of the influence of SST on primary and secondary marine production (Behrenfeld et al., 2006).”
Spatial ecology and conservation of seabirds facing global climate change: a review (2009, neutral): “Green: decrease in SST and increase in NPP. Blue: decrease in SST and NPP. Turquoise: increase in SST and NPP. Adapted from Behrenfeld et al. (2006) and predictable cycles, whereas a weak coupling leads to a dilution of these cycles into environmental stochasticity .”
Adaptation to climate change in marine capture fisheries (2010, background): “Changes in ocean circulation are also expected to reduce new primary productivity in key fishing areas [8], although some locations may benefit from these changes.”
Summer heatwaves promote blooms of harmful cyanobacteria (2008, background): “As a consequence, rising temperatures may reduce the nutrient supply to the euphotic zone, and may thus reduce and even destabilize phytoplankton growth in oligotrophic waters (Schmittner, 2005; Behrenfeld et al., 2006; Huisman et al., 2006).”
Environmental effects on asexual reproduction rates of the scyphozoan Aurelia labiata (2007, background): “Light plays a critical role in hormonal changes for plants and animals (e.g. Boeuf & Falcon 2001, Farnsworth 2004).”
