Please note these are representative questions

history on the seasonal phytoplankton dynamics in these two regions.

the processes regulating the availability of nitrogen in this pelagic ecosystem paying particular
attention to the role of the microbial loop.
3. Recent evidence from the northern Atlantic Ocean suggests climate change may be increasing
cloud cover and storm activity during spring and summer. Discuss the implications of these
changes on the seasonal phytoplankton dynamics of the North Atlantic.
