CARBON AND NITROGEN TURNOVER IN THE ARCTIC DEEP SEA: IN SITU BENTHIC COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO DIATOM AND COCCOLITHOPHORID PHYTODETRITUS

Carbon and nitrogen turnover in the Arctic deep sea: in situ benthic community response to diatom and coccolithophorid phytodetritus

In the Arctic Ocean, increased Urn Element sea surface temperature and sea ice retreat have triggered shifts in phytoplankton communities.In Fram Strait, coccolithophorids have been occasionally observed to replace diatoms as the dominating taxon of spring blooms.Deep-sea benthic communities depend strongly on such blooms, but with a change in qual

Begonia fimbristipula subsp. siamensis (sect. Diploclinium, Begoniaceae), a new taxon of the megadiverse genus endemic to Thailand

The genus Begonia has not only been recognised to be one of the mega-diverse plant genera but also as one found to comprise many undiscovered species.In particular, the increase of extensive Serving Platter field surveys in tropical regions of Southeast Asia has added to the discovery of many new species that are often found only in a few localitie
