Population dynamics of harmful cyanobacteria. Factors affecting species composition
The growth potential of cyanobacteria is impressive. Under ideal circumstances,
cyanobacteria typically double once or twice per day. In 40 days, a single cyanobacterium …

How do sinking phytoplankton species manage to persist?
Phytoplankton require light for photosynthesis. Yet, most phytoplankton species are heavier
than water and therefore sink. How can these sinking species persist? Somehow, the …

[HTML][HTML] Long time behavior of solutions of Fisher-KPP equation with advection and free boundaries
H Gu, B Lou, M Zhou - Journal of Functional Analysis, 2015 - Elsevier
We consider Fisher-KPP equation with advection: ut= uxx− β u x+ f (u) for x∈(g (t), h (t)),
where g (t) and h (t) are two free boundaries satisfying Stefan conditions. This equation is …

Spatio-temporal behaviour of the deep chlorophyll maximum in Mediterranean Sea: Development of a stochastic model for picophytoplankton dynamics
In this paper, by using a stochastic reaction-diffusion-taxis model, we analyze the
picophytoplankton dynamics in the basin of the Mediterranean Sea, characterized by poorly …

Spatio-temporal pattern formation in nonlinear non-equilibrium plankton dynamics
H Malchow - Proceedings of the Royal Society of London …, 1993 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Because of the local and global impacts of algae blooms and patchiness on water quality,
carbon cycling and climate, models of plankton dynamics are of current interest. Here the …
