1 Does temperature affect phytoplankton size structure in the ocean? E. Marañón 1, P. Cermeño 1, M. Latasa 2, R. D. Tadonléké 3 a Universidade de Vigo, Vigo, Spain b Instituto Español de Oceanografía, Gijón, Spain c Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Thonon les Bains, France

2 The importance of phytoplankton size structure Figure from Finkel et al 21 Phytoplankton dominated by: Property Small cells Large cells Dominant trophic pathway Microbial food web Classic food chain Main loss process for phytoplankton Grazing by protists Sinking and grazing by metazoans Photosynthesis-to-respiration ratio ~1 >1 f-ratio and e-ratio 5 15% >4% Main fate of primary production Recycling Export toward deep in the upper layer waters

3 The size-dependence of nutrient acquisition can explain the biogeography of phytoplankton size classes [DIN] (nm) at which cells become diffusion-limited µ= µ= Marañón 29 % picophytoplankton chl a % microphytoplankton chl a Hirata et al 211

4 but separating the effects of temperature and nutrients can be difficult because they are strongly correlated in the ocean Surface waters, Pacific Ocean Goes et al. 1999

5 Recent studies suggest a direct effect of temperature on phytoplankton size structure

6 The temperature-size rule: cell volume in protists decreases ~2.5% per C of warming (Atkinson et al 23) V difference from V 15 C / V 15 C Temperature difference from 15 C Atkinson et al 23

7 Objectives To test the hypothesis that temperature per se plays a role in controlling phytoplankton size structure in the ocean To assess the relative importance of temperature versus resources in the control of phytoplankton size structure

8 Approach To obtain a large data set of measurements of size-fractionated chl a in all combinations of temperature and resource supply conditions Nutrients LOW HIGH COLD Temperature WARM

9 Approach To obtain a large data set of measurements of size-fractionated chl a in all combinations of temperature and resource supply conditions LOW Nutrients HIGH COLD Temperature WARM

10 Data compilation: temperature, size-fractionated chl a and primary production in cold (<1 C), temperate (1-2 C) and warm (>2 C) waters Chl a map: SeaWiFS Project/NASA

11 General relationship between total and size-fractionated chl a Size-fractionated Chl a (µg L -1 ) picophytoplankton nanophytoplankton microphytoplankton.2-2µm 2-2µm >2µm All data (n = 5) Total Chl a concentration (µg L -1 )

12 Similar patterns in regions with different temperatures Size-fractionated Chl a (µg L -1 ) picophytoplankton nanophytoplankton microphytoplankton Cold Total Chl a concentration (µg L -1 ) Size-fractionated Chl a (µg L -1 ) n = 153 Temperate n = Total Chl a concentration (µg L -1 ) Size-fractionated Chl a (µg L -1 ) Warm n = Total Chl a concentration (µg L -1 )

13 % Chl a in each size class strongly dependent on total Chl a % Picophytoplankton Chl a cold temperate temperate warm warm Pico % Nanophytoplankton Chl a Nano % Microphytoplankton Chl a Micro y = 92.3 (1 - e -53.4x/92.3 ) r 2 =.78, p <.1, n = Total Chl a concentration (µg L -1 )
