Mixing is relevant to many areas of science and engineering, including the pharmaceutical
and food industries, oceanography, atmospheric sciences and civil engineering. In all these …

The vertical distribution of phytoplankton is of fundamental importance for the dynamics and
structure of aquatic communities. Here, using an advection–reaction–diffusion model, we …

Many chemical and biological processes take place in fluid environments in constant
motion? chemical reactions in the atmosphere, biological population dynamics in the ocean …

We present a comparative study of the horizontal mixing properties, from satellite derived
data of the surface velocity field, of the two eastern boundary Canary and Benguela …

Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) are characterized by a high productivity of
plankton associated with large commercial fisheries, thus playing key biological and socio …

The spatio-temporal dynamics of a population present one of the most fascinating aspects
and challenges for ecological modelling. In this article we review some simple mathematical …

Phytoplankton blooms occur annually at the sea‐ice edge throughout the Arctic during the
spring melt period. Our study considers how these spring blooms may depend on sea‐ice …

Arctic phytoplankton spring blooms have increased in magnitude and extent over the past
two decades, particularly in waters near the sea ice edge. We develop an idealized model of …

Here we show a simple mechanism in which changes in the rate of horizontal stirring by
mesoscale ocean eddies can trigger or suppress plankton blooms and can lead to an abrupt …

In this work we study a plankton ecosystem model in a turbulent flow. The plankton model
we consider contains logistic growth with a spatially varying background carrying capacity …
