New study tracks picophytoplanktonic diel cycles in the oligotrophic ocean

A study by the team of Professor Bangqin Huang, published this spring in Geophysical Research Letters, confirms and extends previous results of diel patterns of autotrophic picoplankton in the oligotrophic ocean. The results reveal that the quasi-antiphase diel cycles in abundance and cell size/biomass of picophytoplankton are likely a general feature of near-steady-state oligotrophic ecosystems.The ...

New advances in the assembly mechanism of microbial communities in the river plume-coastal upwelling coupling system

A research team led by Professor Bangqin Huang from the College of the Environment and Ecology of Xiamen University has made new progress in the study of microbial community assembly mechanisms in coastal upwelling. The findings, which were published in Water Research, demonstrate that microbial community composition and diversity are water mass-specific, and that water mass, cross-domain bioti...
