Seasonal characteristics of phytoplankton bloom phenology in the northern Benguela Upwelling System
Seasonal phytoplankton blooms in the Benguela Upwelling System (BUS) play a crucial role in ecosystem services and driving climate change through air-sea gas exchanges. Upwelling systems are particularly are sensitive to effects of climate change including the transport of nutrients, which …

Alexandrium catenella cyst dynamics in a coastal embayment : temperature dependence of dormancy, germination, and bloom Initiation
Blooms of the dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella cause paralytic shellfish poisoning syndrome and present an expanding public health threat. They are inoculated through the germination of benthic cysts, a process regulated by internal and environmental factors, most importantly temperature. Less …

Global Trends in Merged Ocean Colour Data and Correction of Inter-Mission Inconsistencies
… in ocean colour variables and phytoplankton bloom timings in a changing climate using merged ocean colour data. However, the significant time series inconsistencies that arise from combining ocean colour data from different missions within merged datasets must first be addressed. Although …

Ecological and Genetic Status of the Purple Pitcher Plant, <i>Sarracenia purpurea</i> L., in Maryland and Virginia
… demise and predicted dates of extinction. Bloom phenology was examined to see if climate change may have influenced bloom period. Soil, vegetation, and climatic information was obtained to determine if taxonomic differences correlated with environmental variables. I found no genetic …

Climate impact on phytoplankton blooms in shallow lakes
… determine the timing of the phytoplankton spring bloom (phenology) in shallow lakes. Under equally mild spring conditions, the phytoplankton spring bloom collapsed earlier under high than under low nutrient availability, due to a switch from a bottom-up driven to a top-down driven collapse. A …

Seasonal predictability and interannual variability in coastal planktonic communities
… examines seasonal predictability, temperature-phenology relationships, and interannual bloom variability in coastal plankton using two decades of high-resolution observations from the Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO). Through automated flow cytometry, we analyzed community dynamics …
