Upward nitrate transport by phytoplankton in oceanic waters: balancing nutrient budgets in oligotrophic seas

In oceanic subtropical gyres, primary producers are numerically dominated by small (1–5 µm diameter) pro- and eukaryotic cells that primarily utilize recycled nutrients produced by rapid grazing turnover in a highly efficient microbial loop. Continuous losses of nitrogen (N) to depth by sinking, eit...
