This article summarizes the physiology and ecophysiology of polar algae with the aim of
revealing their specific physiological and metabolic properties that allow for adaptation and …

Analyses of some 700 photosynthesis-irradiance (PI) experiments made on natural marine
phytoplankton assemblages in over six years of field work are summarized. Observed …

The European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (ERSEM) is one of the most established
ecosystem models for the lower trophic levels of the marine food web in the scientific …

Satellites provide the only avenue by which marine primary production can be studied at
ocean-basin scales. With maps of chlorophyll distribution derived from remotely sensed data …

Preface the basins of the Arctic Ocean and to present these data in common or parallel
formats. A coherent picture of sediment and organic carbon inputs from the ocean's margins …

Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has undergone an unprecedented reduction in area and
thickness in the last decade, exposing an ever increasing fraction of the sea surface to solar …

A method is presented for the determination of 4 h. The ecological interpretation of these
data is algal photosynthetic rate as a function of incident irradiance. severelv constrained for …

We investigated 32 net primary productivity (NPP) models by assessing skills to reproduce
integrated NPP in the Arctic Ocean. The models were provided with two sources each of …

Predicting water-column phytoplankton biomass from near-surface measurements is a
common approach in biological oceanography, particularly since the advent of satellite …

Empirically, the phytoplankton production per unit area of sea surface, normalised to total
pigment biomass in the water column, is a linear function of the surface insolation. The slope …
