Tentative Program

This session will explore the intricate relationships between plankton diversity and ecosystem functioning in marine environments. Emphasis will be placed on how variations in plankton communities influence nutrient cycling and primary production.

This track will focus on the dynamics of trophic interactions within oceanic food webs, highlighting the roles of both phytoplankton and zooplankton. Participants will discuss how these interactions affect marine productivity and ecosystem stability.

This session will investigate the impacts of climate variability on plankton populations and their ecological roles. Researchers will present findings on how changing ocean conditions influence plankton distribution, abundance, and community structure.

This track will delve into the processes of nutrient cycling in ocean ecosystems, with a focus on the contributions of planktonic organisms. Discussions will include the implications of nutrient dynamics for marine biodiversity and ecosystem health.

This session will showcase advanced modeling approaches to understand plankton dynamics and their role in oceanic food webs. Participants will share insights on how these models can inform management strategies for marine resources.

This track will explore the relationship between marine biodiversity and ecological resilience in the face of environmental change. Presentations will highlight the importance of plankton diversity in maintaining ecosystem stability and functionality.
