Particle-based representation of phytoplankton modulates emergent coexistence and biogeography in a model ocean

Phytoplankton communities sustain the marine food web through primary productivity. These communities sustain a high diversity of species, all of which must draw from the same finite nutrient supply. The mechanisms driving phytoplankton biogeography and succession, as well as those enabling high diversity, remain incompletely understood. Here, we compare emerging patterns of biogeography,…
