Cyanobacteria blooms in marine waters are limited to only a few taxa with Trichodesmium,
Richelia, Nodularia, and Aphanizomenon being most commonly observed …

Publisher Summary This chapter explores that the pelagic food chain is mainly linear and
short, and there is a relatively close coupling between the primary production and the …

We used stable carbon (l3C/I2C) and nitrogen (fS~/'") isotope analysis to investigate
linkages between sources of primary production and the pelagic and benthic components of …

A model of coupled nitrification/denitrification was developed for continental shelf sediments
to estimate the spatial distribution of denitrification throughout shelf regions in the North …

Established conceptual models of the initiation and progression of spring phytoplankton
blooms are reconsidered in light of recent observations. We use biological simulation …

How do fish populations regulate themselves? Why do some fish stocks flourish and then
die away? These questions have fascinated fisheries scientists for decades, and in the last …

During the spring bloom in 1988, the dynamics of planktonic carbon flow were studied
weekly in the euphotic layer in the northern Baltic. The spring bloom developed after the …

Polynyas, recurring ice‐free areas amid pack or drift ice, are model systems for predicting
the potential productivity of pelagic and benthic communities in polar regions. The Northeast …

Summer blooms of filamentous cyanobacteria, mainly Aphanizomenon sp. and Nodularia
spumigena, are characteristic for the Baltic Sea, where they accumulate at the sea surface in …

Data from the literature on long‐term, simultaneous measurements of total primary
production (PT) and sedimentation of particulate organic C (POC) close to the bottom of the …
