We also suggested that a warming climate will simultaneously enhance the productivity of large phytoplankton, such as diatoms, in coastal regions, owing to increased wind-driven upwelling 1.

The container holds the fossilized shells of countless diatoms, single-celled algae that inhabit oceans, lakes and other bodies of water. Like other phytoplankton, diatoms convert carbon dioxide ...

It really does have a chain effect.” Phytoplankton called diatoms have glassy shells made of silica, which helps with the photosynthesis they perform. “It wouldn’t make sense to have a shell ...

Diatoms are a type of phytoplankton found in the oceans and rivers and have glass shells. There are several tens of thousands species, most of which are 0.1 millimeter or smaller and come in ...

Tiny diatom cells that were dormant in sediment beneath the Baltic Sea for 7,000 years were successfully revived, scientists say. IOW/S. Bolius Dormant stages of phytoplankton extracted from the ...

Hoeg, and R. Rusche. 1999. Effects of ice duration on plankton succession during spring in a shallow polymictic lake. Freshw. Biol. 41: 621–634. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2427.1999.00411.x Anderson, N. 1989 ...

We found a vertical alignment of phytoplankton groups within the DCM layer indicating preferences for different ecological niches in a layer with strong gradients of light and nutrients.

Unlike traditional phytoplankton like diatoms, which are nutrient-dependent and support a diverse array of marine life, Noctiluca flourishes in stratified, low-nutrient waters. Once present in ...

Most field research on ocean acidification has focused on mid- to high-latitude regions where diatoms, coccolithophores, and ...

A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from their environment, thanks to a bacterial gene picked up by an ancestor.

The diatom species Skeletonema marinoi was the only phytoplankton species revived from the samples. The species is common in the Baltic Sea and typically occurs during the spring bloom ...
