Carbonates are the largest reservoirs of carbon on Earth. From mid‐Mesozoic time, biologically catalyzed precipitation calcium carbonates by pelagic phytoplankton has been primarily due to production calcite coccolithophorids. In this paper we address physical and chemical processes that select for coccolithophorid blooms detected in Sea‐viewing Wide Field‐of‐view Sensor (SeaWiFS) ocean color imagery. Our primary goal is develop both diagnostic prognostic models represent spatial temporal...

The concept of phytoplankton functional types has emerged as a useful approach to classifying phytoplankton. It finds many applications in addressing some serious contemporary issues facing science and society. Its use is not without challenges, however. As noted earlier, there no universally-accepted set types, and the used have to be carefully selected suit particular problem being addressed. important that sum total all matches all phytoplankton under consideration. For example, if...

Coccolithophores are one of the most abundant eukaryotic phytoplankton in oceans and distinguished by their ability to build calcitic platelets (coccoliths). Of numerous species, Emiliania huxleyi is considered major calcifiers pelagic ocean.

Furthermore, any change global distribution abundance E. relative non-calcifying groups (e.g. diatoms) will have important...

Abstract. Coccolithophores are the primary oceanic phytoplankton responsible for production of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). These climatically important plankton play a key role in carbon cycle as major contributor to open ocean pump (~50%) and their calcification can affect atmosphere-to-ocean (air-sea) uptake dioxide (CO2) through increasing seawater partial pressure CO2 (pCO2). Here we document variations areal extent surface blooms globally coccolithophore, Emiliania huxleyi, North...
