Contributions of the net, nano- and picoplankton to the phytoplankton standing crop and primary productivity in the Southern Ocean
The Southern Ocean phytoplankton community is largely dominated by nanoplankton (cells which will pass a 20-μm mesh), as demonstrated by numerous size-fractionated measurements of both chlorophyll a and carbon uptake rates. Furthermore, in agreement with findings from lower and temperate latitudes,...
