A difference in structure between ecosystems in strongly stratified waters and in those that are only weakly stratified
Abstract
The ratio of respiration to maximal photosynthesis in small diatoms is low so they can survive in weakly stratified water. In contrast, the same ratio for dinoflagellates is three times as high and they need waters that are strongly stratified. Some successional phenomena may be explicable in this way. The great fisheries depend on spring or autumn outbursts in temperate waters and on upwelh'ng areas in regions, equatorward of 40° latitude. It is suggested that they are linked to the small diatoms, in traditional food chains, in weakly stratified waters.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
