Abstract:Major seasonal community reorganizations and associated biomass variations are landmarks of plankton ecology. However, the processes determining marine species and community turnover rates have not been fully elucidated so far. Here, we analyse patterns of planktonic protist community succession in temperate latitudes, based on quantitative taxonomic data from both microscopy counts and ribosomal DNA metabarcoding from plankton samples collected biweekly over 8 years (2009-2016) at the SOMLIT-Astan station (Ro… Show more
