Distribution of spring phytoplankton (mainly diatoms) in the upper 50 m of the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (30-61°S)

Mostrar todas las versiones(3)

This is the first study on diatom spatial patterns in relation to major oceanographic features along a megascale transect in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean and provides a comparison with diatom distribution in surface sediments. Absolute abundances of diatoms, silicoflagellates and dinoflagellates...

Siliceous phytoplankton were scarce in the northern half of the transect and in the south of 57°S (100-150 cells L-1), with a strong peak in the vicinity of the Polar Front (∼200 000 cells L-1), whereas dinoflagellates were more abundant at the northern stations (up to 24 000 cells L-1). In the south of 50°S phytoplanktonic cell densities were loosely (but significantly, r = 0.54, P < 0.01) associated with chlorophyll a, whereas in the north of this latitude, this relationship disappeared (r = 0.018, P > 0.1). In total, 191 diatoms and 4 silicoflagellates were recorded. Changes in diatom assemblage compositions along the transect allowed identification of five discrete areas: Subtropical (29°S), Northern Transitional (34-41°S), Southern Transitional (43-48°S), Subantarctic (49-54°S) and Antarctic (55-59°S), each characterized by a set of typical species. Diversity changed little with latitude, but numbers of species were higher in the north of 40°S. Comparison of diatom assemblage makeup in the plankton and in the surface sediments shows very strong disagreements, whereby cold water species are very significantly over-represented in the sedimentary record, suggesting enhanced preservation and strong subsurface equatorward advection of the cold water taxa. © The Author 2006.
