planktonic

基本解釋

Planktonic algae are at the bottom of the food chain. If more of them are around, the rest of that chain will be affected.
浮遊藻類位於食物鏈的底層，假如它們的數(shù)量增多，那食物鏈的其它部分將會受到影響。
It would be expected to correlate with the distribution of planktonic algae—the ultimate drivers of biological productivity.But it does not.
人們過去以爲(wèi)有機物在海洋中分佈與浮遊海藻（生物生産力的終極動力）的分佈有關(guān)，但事實竝非如此。
In some places, though, iron is the limiting nutrient. Adding iron to such places should cause a bloom of planktonic algae, thus sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
然而在一些地方卻缺少鉄物質(zhì)，在這些地方添加鉄物質(zhì)可以産生茂密的浮遊藻類，竝因此能從大氣層中吸取二氧化碳。

Recent studies show that there is substantial standing genetic variation in natural populations of planktonic organisms, which provides the raw material for natural selection.

After sampling waters from the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans at all latitudes, they found that the amount of AAPB in the water is controlled mainly by the level of planktonic algae in the region, rather than by the amount of light.
