What is phytoplankton population size?
Almost innumerable.
How zooplankton controls the growth of phytoplankton?
Zooplankton can control the growth of phytoplankton by grazing on them, reducing their population. This grazing pressure can influence the size and composition of phytoplankton communities. By consuming phytoplankton, zooplankton can also regulate nutrient cycling and ecosystem productivity in aquatic environments.
Why is phytoplankton important to other organisms?
The collapse of the world's phytoplankton population would have dire consequences for our environment and civilization. Global climate health is affected by phytoplankton population health. Phytoplankton is responsible for approximately 50 percent of all photosynthesis on earth. This means they function as a major carbon dioxide sink, pulling this gas from the atmosphere and creating organic matter and emitting oxygen. In this way the phytoplankton population is a major factor in limiting global warming and in the general atmospheric health of the planet.
The population of small photosynthetic organisms found near the surface of the ocean?
Phytoplankton
What limits phytoplankton productivity?
Zooplankton can limit the phytoplankton productivity. The grazers can decrease the population by 75 percent. Other limits include light, nutrients, circulation and temperature.
What is the difference between phytoplankton and nanoplankton?
Phytoplankton are all photosynthetic aquatic organisms that live freely in the water column. So, this name refers to where they live and what they eat. others: zooplankton, meroplankton... "Nanoplankton" refers to the size (2-20µm). So, most of phytoplankton species are nanoplankton since they have this size. others : picoplankton, megaloplantkon...
What is a human impact on the phytoplankton population?
no peeing in the reefs because it lets out chemicals which can be harmful
What tidewater goby eat?
they eat small invertebrates,zooplankton and phytoplankton,depending on their size.
What happens to a phytoplankter that remains below its compensation depth?
A phytoplankton that remains below its compensation depth will receive insufficient light for photosynthesis to exceed respiration. As a result, the phytoplankton will not be able to produce enough energy to survive and grow, leading to a decline in population size or eventual death.
Why are phytoplankton and zooplankton both called plankton?
Because of their minute size and inability to swim against the current.
What are the two types of planktons?
Phytoplankton and zooplankton
Why are microorganisms here?
phytoplankton. phytoplankton.
