Short summary
Marine phytoplankton accounts for half of global primary production. Phytoplankton size is an important trait affecting its fitness and ecosystem functioning. We have developed a plankton model with continuous size distribution for phytoplankton and applied it in the North Pacific. This model is able to capture the general patterns of phytoplankton size distribution in the real ocean and can be used for understanding the mechanisms controlling phytoplankton size structure and diversity.
