Coccolithophores, a diverse group of phytoplankton, make important contributions to pelagic calcite production and export, yet the comparative biogeochemical role of species other than the ubiquitous
These data were collected from process stations and other stations where bulk chlorophyll (Chl) measurements were taken on the following Bering Sea Ecosystem Study (BEST) cruises: HLY08-02, HLY08-03,
Phytoplankton readily assimilate dissolved inorganic phosphorus (phosphate; Pi) into essential biomolecules, making it their preferred form of phosphorus (P). In low Pi marine environments, phytoplank
