The article details the findings made during an incubation experiment and discusses the changes in dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) concentrations and DMSP-lyase activity (DLA) that result from changes in algal community composition in the North Atlantic spring bloom. It describes the effect of both atmospheric temperature and carbon dioxide on biogeochemical processes and algal community structure. It also illustrates changes in and connections between microzooplankton grazing dynamics and algal community structure.
