Collaborative Research: Large-scale nutritional ecology of diverse phytoplankton — NSF Award to Woods Hole Oceanographic Instituti
This project addresses how marine phytoplankton — microscopic algae that fuel ocean food webs and contribute to global nutrient cycling — respond to differences in resource availability across the ocean. Nutrient supply in surface waters plays a central role in determining phytoplankton growth and overall ocean product

| Abstract | This project addresses how marine phytoplankton — microscopic algae that fuel ocean food webs and contribute to global nutrient cycling — respond to differences in resource availability across the ocean. Nutrient supply in surface waters plays a central role in determining phytoplankton growth and overall ocean productivity. However, the ocean harbors a wide variety of phytoplankton species, and their varied nutritional demands may influence ecosystem responses in complex ways. This research pro |
