The phenomenon of subsurface chlorophyll maximum layers (SCMLs) is not a unique
ecological response to environmental conditions; rather, a broad range of interacting …

Experiments were carried out with different Baltic Sea zooplankton taxa to scan their
potential to ingest plastics. Mysid shrimps, copepods, cladocerans, rotifers, polychaete …

The data on the species composition of the White Sea phytoplankton are presented; the size
spectrum of algae and their trophic status are considered. The spatiotemporal variability of …

Based on a fifty-year study conducted by the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research, this
book brings together a comprehensive summary of their observations and findings. Written …

A diagnostic method for calculating physical and numerical mixing of tracers in ocean
models is presented. The physical mixing is defined as the turbulent mean tracer variance …

Abstract Deep Chlorophyll Maxima (DCMs) are subsurface peaks in chlorophyll-a
concentration that may coincide with peaks in phytoplankton abundance and primary …

This study considers an important biome in aquatic environments, the subsurface ecosystem
that evolves under low mixing conditions, from a theoretical point of view. Employing a …

The motility and migrational behaviour of upwelling dinoflagellates as adaptations for growth
in upwelling systems is evaluated. Traits considered include hydrodynamic streamlining; …

A new Fine Scale Sampler (FSS) was designed and used in the Loire River plume (Bay of
Biscay, France) in order to study phytoplankton distribution in highly stratified water columns …
