Biophysical controls on seasonal changes in the structure, growth, and grazing of the size-fractionated phytoplankton community in the northern South China Sea

<p>The size-fractionated phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing are crucial for the temporal change of community size structure, regulating not only trophic transfer but also the carbon cycle of the ocean. However, the size-dependent growth and grazing dynamics on a monthly or...
