Overriding questions What are the relevant time and space scales to study plankton diversity? Are the time and space scales that regulate diversity the same as those that control biogeochemical cycling?

The Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) Established in 1988 as part of the U.S. JGOFS program. Primary objectives: characterize time- dependent dynamics in carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus inventories and fluxes.

What have we learned? Prokaryote dominated ecosystem. Ocean biology regulates nutrient stoichiometry and carbon export. Chronically oligotrophic upper ocean (NO NO 2 - <10 nM, PO 4 3- <100 nM). N 2 fixation plays an important role in nutrient dynamics and carbon export. Organization of plankton populations may be controlled by ocean-climate teleconnections.

Time scales and processes driving biological variability in the oceans Global-scale climate variability PDO / NAO ~ year period ENSO ~ 1-3 year period Millennia Decadal Interannual Intraannual Seasonal (light, temperature, nutrients) Diurnal Tidal, light, predation

Are ocean-climate teleconnections reflected in plankton dynamics?

Interdecadal and decadal scale dynamics in pigment biomarkers

Summary Plankton populations at Station ALOHA vary over a broad continuum of time scales ranging from seasonal, to decadal. Plankton population structure in the central North Pacific Ocean appears linked to ocean-climate dynamics. Understanding the mechanisms regulating temporal dynamics in plankton populations requires an integrated biogeochemical approach.
