Deployment 1 Deployment 2 Depth profiles of the abundance (upper) And biomass (lower) of picoplankton at K2.

Fig. 4 Depth profiles of picoplankton at K2 with false connection down to 200m. The data of m are adopted from Liu et al

Picoplankton Carbon Biomass at K2 Fig. 5 Depth profiles of pico-sized autotrophic and heterotrophic carbon biomass at K2. The data of m (shaded) were from Liu et al

Comparison between K2 and Aloha similars Fig. 1 Sampling stations Chlorophyll a remote images (Aqua-MODIS) of August 2005 were employed as the backgrounds. NWPG: North Western Pacific; NEP: North Eastern Pacific; MNEP: Marginal sea of North Eastern Pacific.

Two dimensional trends

Conclusions Picoeukaryoes and Synechococcus dominate carbon biomass of pico-autotrophs at K2 Prochlorococcus dominate carbon biomass of pico-autotrophs at low latitudes especially in the oligotrophic areas. AAPB are more abundant in entrophic waters than in oligotrphic waters picoplankton carbon flux maximum layer depth eutrophic waters: 50-75m oligotrophic waters: m Temperature and nutrients are two major controlling factors Variations along gradients: autotrophs >> heterotrophic bacteria Therefore whether or not a province is autotrophic or heterotrophic is determined primarily by autotrophs
