Seasonal and diel variability of autotrophic and heterotrophic picoplankton in the central Red Sea: Effects of nutrients and temperature

Picoplankton, cells between 0.2 - 2 μm, play a vital role in the carbon flow and nutrient cycling in marine food webs. Auto- and heterotrophic picoplankton dominate the biomass of oligotrophic tropical and subtropical oceans. However, little is known about their vertical distribution, changes in spa...
