  2. Marine food web - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_food_web

    Marine phytoplankton mostly inhabit sunlit surface waters as photoautotrophs, and require nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as sunlight to fix carbon and produce oxygen. However, some marine phytoplankton inhabit the deep sea, often near deep sea vents , as chemoautotrophs which use inorganic electron sources such as hydrogen ...

  3. Phytoplankton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoplankton

    Phytoplankton (/ ËŒ f aɪ t oÊŠ ˈ p l æ Å‹ k t É™ n /) are the autotrophic (self-feeding) components of the plankton community and a key part of ocean and freshwater ecosystems.The name comes from the Greek words φυτÏŒν (phyton), meaning 'plant', and πλαγκτÏŒς (planktos), meaning 'wanderer' or 'drifter'.

  4. Thin layers (oceanography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_layers_(oceanography)

    These extraordinary concentrations of plankton have important implications for many aspects of marine ecology (e.g., phytoplankton growth dynamics, zooplankton grazing, behaviour, environmental effects, harmful algal blooms), as well as for ocean optics and acoustics. Zooplankton thin layers are often found slightly under phytoplankton layers ...

  5. Marine microorganisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_microorganisms

    In marine environments, microbial primary production contributes substantially to CO 2 sequestration. Marine microorganisms also recycle nutrients for use in the marine food web and in the process release CO 2 to the atmosphere. Microbial biomass and other organic matter (remnants of plants and animals) are converted to fossil fuels over ...

  6. Coccolith - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccolith

    [20] [18] Viral infection is an important cause of phytoplankton death in the oceans, [21] and it has recently been shown that calcification can influence the interaction between a coccolithophore and its virus. [22] [23] The major predators of marine phytoplankton are microzooplankton like ciliates and dinoflagellates.

    The U.S. will no longer allow the import of seafood linked to the bycatch of marine mammals. Each year, over 650,000 marine mammals, including seals, whales, and dolphins, are killed by ...

  8. The Incredible Reason Sloths Grow Algae on Their Fur - AOL

    While humans wouldn’t be very happy to find that organisms were growing on their skin, particularly fungi, algae, and insects, it works out pretty well for sloths. Sloths may be hosting entire ...

  9. Biological pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pump

    Approximately 50–60 Pg of carbon are fixed by marine phytoplankton each year despite the fact that they account for less than 1% of the total photosynthetic biomass on Earth. The majority of this carbon fixation (~80%) is carried out in the open ocean while the remaining amount occurs in the very productive upwelling regions of the ocean.
