Climate projections suggest–with substantial certainty–that global warming> 1.5° C will
occur by mid-century (2050). Population is also projected to increase, amplifying the …

Algae are fast growing biomass and can be converted to Biodiesel fuel. The demand of
biodiesel is growing worldwide. Microalgae need a light: dark regime for productive …

Penetration of light into aquatic ecosystems is greatly affected by the absorption and
scattering processes that take place within the water. Thus within any water body, the …

In reviewing this subject, it became clear to me that plankton ecologists fallout into two
groups: Those who delight in finding the patterns in nature that can be explained by size …

Marine picocyanobacteria of the genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus numerically
dominate the picophytoplankton of the world ocean, making a key contribution to global …

Acclimation of the photosynthetic apparatus to changes of irradiance, temperature and
nutrient availability, involving regulation of the chlorophyll a: carbon ratio (g), is a universal …

The photosynthesis‐irradiance response (PE) curve, in which mass‐specific photosynthetic
rates are plotted versus irradiance, is commonly used to characterize photoacclimation. The …

Physiological acclimation to changes in light intensity and spectral quality is an important
factor determining variations in photosynthetic responses and growth rates of algae in …

The 'biological pump'mediates flux of carbon to the interior of the ocean by interctions
between the components of the vertically-structured pelagic ecosystem of the photic zone …

The carbon isotopic compositions of the marine diatom Porosira glacialis and the marine
cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. were measured over a series of growth rates (μ) in a …
