OB34H:
The Role of Plankton Physiology and Ecology for Ocean Biogeochemistry II Posters

Session ID#: 84671

Session Description:
Global biogeochemical cycling determines the ocean's role in the climate system. Patterns of nutrient and oxygen distributions and carbon uptake are shaped by primary production, the subsequent export of organic matter to the deep ocean, remineralization of carbon and nutrients along the way and circulation on long time scales.

On short time scales, however, physiological and ecological processes are what actually drive the carbon uptake and the subsequent remineralization. Alterations in, e.g., competition, adaptation, and evolution may change community and food web structure and thereby affect ecosystem functions like resource use efficiency or nitrogen fixation.

We ask to what degree and in which regions do changes at the ecological and physiological level influence biogeochemical cycling and the ocean's role as a carbon sink on timescales from seasonal, interannual, centennial (e.g. future climate change) to millennial (i.e. past climate changes)?

We welcome both observational and modelling studies from local to global scales with a quantitative focus. In particular, we encourage studies featuring detailed ecological and/or physiological processes that directly link to the large-scale ocean biogeochemistry on one or more timescales.
