Coexistence of Dominant Marine Phytoplankton Sustained by Nutrient Specialization

Coexistence of Dominant Marine Phytoplankton Sustained by Nutrient Specialization

ABSTRACT Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the two dominant picocyanobacteria in the low-nutrient surface waters of the subtropical ocean, but the basis for their coexistence has not been quantitatively demonstrated. Here, we combine in situ microcosm experiments and an ecological model to show...
