- Phytoplankton - A Simple Guide | WHOI
What are Phytoplankton? Phytoplankton are mostly microscopic, single-celled photosynthetic organisms that live suspended in water Like land plants, they take up carbon dioxide, make carbohydrates using light energy, and release oxygen They are what is known as primary producers of the ocean—the organisms that form the base of the food chain
- Plankton - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Because phytoplankton make their own food using the energy of the sun (in a process called photosynthesis), they are called "producers " That places them at the very base of the food web Many animals eat plankton directly, or feed on animals that eat plankton Animals that eat plants or other animals are called "consumers," and bacteria that break down dead plants and animals are called
- A Day in the Life of a Phytoplankter - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Earth's vast oceans teem with innumerable microscopic plants that make the fertility and abundance of the United States’ Grain Belt look like, well, a drop in the ocean These tiny phytoplankton are essential to life on Earth, says biologist Sam Laney “Just like plants on land, phytoplankton do photosynthesis: They…
- Bloom or Bust: The Bond Between Fish and Phytoplankton
Ocean color data from the SeaWiFS and MODIS sensors enable researchers to examine the link between phytoplankton blooms and fish and bird health
- Phytoplankton – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Much of marine life begins as microscopic larvae—so tiny, delicate, and scattered in hard-to-reach parts…
- Phytoplankton - NASA Earthdata
'Phytoplankton is the plant portion of the plankton, the plant community in marine and freshwater situations, that floats free in the water and contains many species of algae and diatoms Definition source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
- Fleeting Phytoplankton - NASA Earthdata
Phytoplankton prefer the topmost layer, nearest the sun, which is why their brilliant red or green blooms are often visible They also like the fresher water contained in this surface layer, as it allows them to float above the saltier and denser layers below In the Southern Ocean, the annual spring sea ice melt helps create this top layer
- Ocean Topic: Biological Carbon Pump
What is the biological carbon pump? When sunlight hits the ocean’s surface waters, it stimulates tiny marine plants called phytoplankton to photosynthesize This process removes carbon dioxide dissolved in the water as phytoplankton incorporate the carbon as they grow As carbon dioxide levels in surface waters decrease, water is then able to absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
- Iron Fertilization - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Iron fertilization is a technique that would artificially add iron to the ocean’s surface, triggering massive blooms of phytoplankton that could remove substantial amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
- Plankton, By Any Other Name - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Plankton are the diverse collection of organisms found in water that provide a crucial source of food to many small and large aquatic organisms, such as bivalves, fish and whales
