Linking phytoplankton community size composition with temperature, plankton food web structure and sea–air CO2 flux
Abstract
Data collected at open water stations (depth>400m) in all major ocean basins in 2006–2008 are used to examine the relationship between the size structure of the phytoplankton community (determined by size fractionated chlorophyll filtration), temperature and inorganic nutrient availability. A significant relationship (p
