...) and net community production (NCP) measurements are often used as estimates of carbon export potential from the mixed layer of the ocean, an important process in the regulation of global climate. Diverse methods can be used to measure NP and NCP, from research vessels, autonomous platforms, and remote...

... between ice types despite similar net community production due to widespread light and nutrient limitation. The first-year ice algal community was increasingly dominated over spring by the potentially toxin-producing genus Pseudonitzschia that was acclimated to high and variable light conditions...

...Tonya M. Burgers; Jean-Éric Tremblay; Brent G. T. Else; Tim N. Papakyriakou Measurements of net community production (NCP) provide an upper constraint on the strength of the oceanic biological pump, the dominant mechanism for removing CO 2 from the ocean surface and sequestering it at depth...

...) resulted from organic matter remineralisation and mixing into subsurface water during winter and spring. Surface waters were undersaturated with respect to atmospheric CO 2 , resulting in modest uptake of –0.32 ± 0.03 mol C m –2 yr –1 . Net community production estimated from carbon drawdown was 14 ± 2 g C...
