Sentences with phrase «microbial food web»

Once more, I want to emphasize (read — pound into your head), the importance of physical processes... and chemical processes... in determining biological processes (spring and all phytoplankton blooms, switching from a «classical» food web to a microbial food web, deepening of the chlorophyll maximum, etc.).

report that ocean sediment cores containing an «undisturbed history of the past» have been analyzed for variations in PP over timescales that include the Little Ice Age... they determined that during the LIA the ocean off Peru had «low PP, diatoms and fish,» but that «at the end of the LIA, this condition changed abruptly to the low subsurface oxygen, eutrophic upwelling ecosystem that today produces more fish than any region of the world's oceans... write that «in coastal environments, PP, diatoms and fish and their associated predators are predicted to decrease and the microbial food web to increase under global warming scenarios,» citing Ito et al..
