unusual facts about primary production


Acanthurus guttatus

It is considered to form an important link between algae, the primary producers in the ocean, and the detrital food web in the Pacific Ocean.


Hawaii Ocean Time-series

These strategies include high resolution conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiles, biogeochemical analyses of discrete water samples, in situ vertically profiling bio-optical instrumentation, free-drifting arrays for determinations of primary production and particle fluxes, deep ocean sediment traps, and oblique plankton net tows.

Canfield ocean

The term Strangelove ocean is a model name coined by a study published in 1985, which found a decrease in the δ13 C values of planktic skeletons following the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, causing a homogenous ocean in decades or centuries, visible in the boundary sediment layer as a manifestation of the elimination in the surface-to-bottom carbon isotope gradient in ocean waters, the halt of ocean primary production.

Iron Hypothesis

Addition of Iron sulfate to the subarctic western Pacific gyre caused increases in primary production rates, chlorophyll a concentrations, biomass, and photosynthetic energy conversion efficiency.

Pennsylvania Route 39

The route passes through the northern and eastern suburbs of Harrisburg and passes by Hersheypark and Giant Center, as well as the primary production factory for The Hershey Company.
