Marine photosynthetic plankton are responsible for approximately 50 petagrams (1015) of
carbon per year of net primary production, an amount equivalent to that on land. This …

Plankton are the base of marine food webs, essential to sustaining fisheries and other
marine life. Continuous Plankton Recorders (CPRs) have sampled plankton for decades in …

This is the second edition of Freshwater Algae; the popular guide to temperate freshwater
algae. This book uniquely combines practical information on sampling and experimental …

Impacts of global climate change on terrestrial ecosystems are imperfectly constrained by
ecosystem models and direct observations. Pervasive ecosystem transformations occurred …

Many countries in the world still suffer from high toxic cyanobacterial blooms in inland waters
used for human consumption. Regional climate change and human activities within …

Abstract The Northeast Atlantic, a highly productive maritime area, has been exposed to a
wide range of direct human pressures, such as fishing, shipping, coastal development …

Marine zooplankton must deal with seasonal variations of the upper-ocean environment that
are both intense and prolonged compared to their life spans. This leads to large seasonal …

Although the terms 'health'and 'healthy'are often applied to marine ecosystems and
communicate information about holistic condition (eg as required by the Ecosystem …

The interannual to decadal variability in the timing and magnitude of the North Atlantic
phytoplankton bloom is examined using a combination of satellite data and output from an …

Increasing direct human pressures on the marine environment, coupled with climate‐driven
changes, is a concern to marine ecosystems globally. This requires the development and …
