Hydrodynamics drives shifts in phytoplankton community composition and carbon-to-chlorophyll a ratio in the northern South China Sea

Phytoplankton play significant roles in the carbon cycle in oceans. Phytoplankton biomass and community composition are often mediated by ocean hydrodynamics. It is vital to quantify the phytoplankton carbon content and carbon:Chlorophyll a (C:Chl a) ratio and to better understand the link between h...
