Monitoring cyanobacteria and other nuisance phytoplankton in the Hudson River is of great interest given its societal and ecological importance. Satellite remote sensing provides a cost-effective method to monitor chlorophyll-a (chl-a), a common prox...
Phytoplankton communities in tropical macrotidal estuaries are highly sensitive to hydroclimatic variability, particularly during extreme El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. This study assessed ENSO effects on phytoplankton dynamics in the Sã...
In aquatic ecosystems, the triadic relationship among phytoplankton, zooplankton, and their piscine predators constitutes a delicately balanced ecological continuum where nutrient cycling, toxin transfer, and spatial refugia collectively dictate popu...
Marine phytoplankton are crucial to oceanic ecosystems, yet trends in their activity, monitored through chlorophyll a, remain uncertain due to observational limitations. We generated an ocean chlorophyll a dataset (2001 to 2023) across low to mid-lat...
Real-time monitoring of phytoplankton in freshwater systems is critical for early detection of harmful algal blooms (HABs) to enable efficient response by water management agencies. This manuscript presents an image processing pipeline developed to a...
Lakes across the globe are experiencing growing ecological pressure from climate change and human activities. In prairie regions, these pressures often result in shifts in phytoplankton abundance, a key indicator of water quality. Yet identifying the...
Phytoplankton-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a major pathway for atmospheric CO transfer to long-lived oceanic DOC reservoirs. Yet, current models rarely accounted for its molecular and taxonomic heterogeneity across growth seasons. Here, ...
The excessive growth of phytoplankton in water can deplete oxygen, release toxins, harm aquatic life, cause economic losses, and threaten coastal residents. Accurately predicting phytoplankton levels is crucial for safeguarding marine life and coasta...
Artificial intelligence has transformed both plankton dynamics and hazardous material management under toxic environments by enhanced hazard prediction in detecting how toxins affect plankton population and potentially uncovering greater depth of eco...
