Biogeochemistry of a late marginal coccolithophorid bloom in the Bay of Biscay
Coccolithophores, among which Emiliania huxleyi (Ehux) is the most abundant and widespread species, are the dominant calcifying phytoplankton in the temperate zone of the world’s oceans. Within the framework of the “Climate and Atmosphere” Belgian Federal Science Policy Office programme, the contine...
