Examining the size-specific photosynthesis-irradiance parameters and relationship with phytoplankton types in a subtropical marginal sea
Through photosynthesis, phytoplankton initiate material cycling and the flow of energy through marine ecosystems. The structure of marine ecosystems is sensitive to the size of primary producers, and size-specific photosynthesis-irradiance (P-I) parameters are required for modeling the size-specific...

Through photosynthesis, phytoplankton initiate material cycling and the flow of energy through marine ecosystems. The structure of marine ecosystems is sensitive to the size of primary producers, and size-specific photosynthesis-irradiance (P-I) parameters are required for modeling the size-specific primary production. We defined a phytoplankton type to be a group of phytoplankton communities with similar compositions and hypothesized that a function of phytoplankton types might be used to quantify systematic differences of P-I parameters between size classes (structural effects) and variations of the magnitudes of those parameters if the overlap between habitats was small (environmental effects). To test this hypothesis, we conducted a study to measure the size-specific P-I parameters of two size classes (<2 μm and >2 μm) and pigment-based phytoplankton community structure in a marginal sea, the Taiwan Strait. Three phytoplankton types were classified, and type-based and size-specific P-I parameters were derived. The results demonstrated the potential of a type-based model to estimate P-I parameters for two phytoplankton size classes as well as different habitats. |
