When Phytoplankton Go Hungry
Story by Helen Hill | CBIOMES News
The Redfield ratio, the atomic ratio of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus (C:N:P) in phytoplankton and deep ocean waters, has often been treated as a constant 106:16:1. A new paper involving several CBIOMES co-authors presents compelling evidence for what causes this ratio to change within phytoplankton. Continue reading “When Phytoplankton Go Hungry”

Phytoplankton Realized Niches Track Changing Oceanic Conditions at a Long-Term Coastal Station off Sydney Australia
by Helen Hill for CBIOMES
CBIOMES researchers in the Dalhousie Group looking at changes in phytoplankton biogeography in response to changing climate find mean phytoplankton niches closely tracked changes in mean temperature, while the mean salinity and mixed layer depth realized niches were consistently at the extreme range of available conditions at a study site near Sydney Australia.
