Spring bloom dynamics in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard: nutrients, phytoplankton, protozoans and primary production (2012, background): “Diatoms are one of the most important phytoplankton groups during the spring bloom, although the haptophyte Phaeocystis pouchetii often co-occurs as single cells or colonies (Eilertsen et al. 1981; Wassmann et al. 1999; Degerlund and Eilertsen 2010).”
Major contribution of diatom resting spores to vertical flux in the sub-polar North Atlantic (2013, background): “have been shown to dominate spring blooms over multiple years in regions of the Barents and Norwegian Seas (Degerlund and Eilertsen, 2010) as well as the waters just east of the Iceland Basin (Bresnan et al.”
The pan-Arctic biodiversity of marine pelagic and sea-ice unicellular eukaryotes: a first-attempt assessment (2011, background): “…gravida and T. nordenskioeldii, and pennate Cylindrotheca closterium and Fragilariopsis oceanica, which are characteristic of northern polar seas (Degerlund and Eilertsen 2010; Hegseth and Sundfjord 2008; Sakshaug et al. 2009; Tremblay et al. 2009) but also extending their distribution to…”
