Phytoplankton Surveys in the Arctic Fram Strait Demonstrate the Tiny Eukaryotic Alga <em>Micromonas</em> and Other Picoprasinophytes Contribute to Deep Sea Export

Phytoplankton Surveys in the Arctic Fram Strait Demonstrate the Tiny Eukaryotic Alga <em>Micromonas</em> and Other Picoprasinophytes Contribute to Deep Sea Export

Critical questions exist regarding the abundance and, especially, the export of picophytoplankton (≤2 µm diameter) in the Arctic. These organisms can dominate chlorophyll concentrations in Arctic regions, which are subject to rapid change. The picoeukaryotic prasinophyte <i>Micromonas</i>...
