Global distributions of Coccolithophores abundance and biomass
(2012)MAREDAT World Ocean Atlas of Plankton Functional TypesCoccolithophores are calcifying marine phytoplankton of the class Prymnesiophyceae. They are considered to play an import role in the global carbon cycle through the production and export of organic carbon and calcite. We have compiled observations of global coccolithophore abundance from several existing databases as well as individual contributions of published and unpublished datasets. We estimate carbon biomass using standardised ...Other Publication -

Global Plankton Functional Type Biomass Distributions: Phaeocystis spp.
(2012)MAREDAT World Ocean Atlas of Plankton Functional TypesThe planktonic haptophyte Phaeocystis has been suggested to play a fundamental role in the global biogeochemical cycling of carbon and sulphur, but little is known about its global biomass distribution. We have collected global microscopy data of the genus Phaeocystis and converted abundance data to carbon biomass using species-specific carbon conversion factors. Microscopic counts of single-celled and colonial Phaeocystis were obtained ...Other Publication -
