The growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), the largest human contributor to human-induced climate change, is increasing rapidly and three processes contribute to this rapid increase: emissions, global economic activity, carbon intensity of the global economy, and the increase in airborne fraction of CO2 emissions.

It is estimated that the Southern Ocean sink of CO2 has weakened between 1981 and 2004 by 0.08 petagrams of carbon per year per decade relative to the trend expected from the large increase in atmospheric CO2.
Bio‐optical feedbacks among phytoplankton, upper ocean physics and sea‐ice in a global model
- M. Manizza, C. Le Quéré, A. Watson, E. Buitenhuis

- 1 March 2005
Phytoplankton biomass modifies the penetration of light and impacts the physical properties of the upper ocean. We quantify these impacts and the feedbacks on phytoplankton biomass for the global…
PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CALCIFICATION BY EMILIANIA HUXLEYI (PRYMNESIOPHYCEAE) AS A FUNCTION OF INORGANIC CARBON SPECIES

- 1 October 1999
The success of E. huxleyi as a coccolithophorid may be related to the efficient coupling between H+ generation in calcification and CO2 fixation in photosynthesis, which shows that CO2 that is used for photosynthesis comes from two sources.
Picophytoplankton biomass distribution in the global ocean

Abstract. The smallest marine phytoplankton, collectively termed picophytoplankton, have been routinely enumerated by flow cytometry since the late 1980s during cruises throughout most of the world…
Biogeochemical fluxes through mesozooplankton
- E. Buitenhuis, C. Le Quéré, D. Straile
- Environmental Science
- 1 June 2006
Mesozooplankton are significant consumers of phytoplankton, and have a significant impact on the oceanic biogeochemical cycles of carbon and other elements. Their contribution to vertical particle…
Drivers and uncertainties of future global marine primary production in marine ecosystem models

- 7 December 2015
Abstract. Past model studies have projected a global decrease in marine net primary production (NPP) over the 21st century, but these studies focused on the multi-model mean rather than on the large…
MAREDAT: towards a world atlas of MARine Ecosystem DATa
- E. Buitenhuis, M. Vogt, C. Swan
- Environmental Science
- 12 July 2013
Abstract. We present a summary of biomass data for 11 plankton functional types (PFTs) plus phytoplankton pigment data, compiled as part of the MARine Ecosystem biomass DATa (MAREDAT) initiative. The…
