Timing of nutrient depletion, diatom dominance and a lower-boundary estimate of export production for Irminger Basin, North Atlantic
During the North Atlantic spring bloom, a seasonal phytoplankton community succession takes place from diatoms to non-siliceous phytoplankton. Diatoms rely on silica to form their frustules and are out-competed by other species when silica becomes depleted. Diatoms are also expected to contribute si...
