Abandoning Sverdrup's Critical Depth Hypothesis on phytoplankton bloomsMichael J Behrenfeld
Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Cordley Hall 2082, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331 2902 USA
Ecology 91:977-89. 2010..This revised view derives from fundamental concepts applied during field dilution experiments, builds upon earlier modeling results, and is compatible with observed phytoplankton blooms in the absence of spring mixed layer shoaling...
Climate-driven trends in contemporary ocean productivityMichael J Behrenfeld
Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331, USA
Nature 444:752-5. 2006..The observed reductions in ocean productivity during the recent post-1999 warming period provide insight on how future climate change can alter marine food webs...
Photophysiological expressions of iron stress in phytoplanktonMichael J Behrenfeld
Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 2902, USA
Ann Rev Mar Sci 5:217-46. 2013....
Controls on tropical Pacific Ocean productivity revealed through nutrient stress diagnosticsMichael J Behrenfeld
Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Cordley Hall 2082, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331 2902, USA
Nature 442:1025-8. 2006..2-2.5 Pg C yr(-1) lower than previous estimates have suggested, a difference that is comparable to the global change in ocean production that accompanied the largest El Niño to La Niña transition on record...
Evolved physiological responses of phytoplankton to their integrated growth environmentMichael J Behrenfeld
Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 2902, USA
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 363:2687-703. 2008....
Physiological optimization underlies growth rate-independent chlorophyll-specific gross and net primary productionKimberly H Halsey
Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, 97330, USA
Photosynth Res 103:125-37. 2010..We conclude that growth rate-dependent photosynthate metabolism bridges the gap between gross and net production and resolves a controversial question regarding nutrient limitation effects on primary production measures...
Surplus photosynthetic antennae complexes underlie diagnostics of iron limitation in a cyanobacteriumPaul S Schrader
Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, United States of America
PLoS ONE 6:e18753. 2011..Importantly, our results complete the link between unique molecular consequences of iron stress in phytoplankton and global detection of iron stress in natural populations from space...
A common partitioning strategy for photosynthetic products in evolutionarily distinct phytoplankton speciesKimberly H Halsey
Department of Microbiology, Oregon State University, 220 Nash Hall, Corvallis, OR, 97331, USA
New Phytol 198:1030-8. 2013..Together, our findings suggest a common photosynthetic optimization strategy in evolutionarily distinct phytoplankton species and contribute towards a systems-level understanding of carbon flow in photoautotrophs...
Coherence of particulate beam attenuation and backscattering coefficients in diverse open ocean environmentsToby K Westberry
Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA
Opt Express 18:15419-25. 2010..This finding lends support to use of satellite-derived Chl and b(bp) for investigation of phytoplankton biomass and physiology and broadens the applications of existing ocean color retrievals...
