Protistan plankton communities in the Galápagos Archipelago respond to changes in deep water masses resulting from the 2015/16 El Niño

Abstract: The Galapagos Archipelago lies within the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean at the convergence of major ocean currents that are subject to changes in circulation. The nutrient-rich Equatorial Undercurrent upwells from the west onto the Galapagos platform, stimulating primary production, but this source of deep water weakens during El Nino events. From measurements collected on repeat cruises, the 2015/16 El Nino was associated with declines in phytoplankton biomass at most sites throughout the archipelago and r… Show more
