Global Presence, Local Manifestation.
Eventough phytoplanktonic life thrive better in cold well oxiginated water and riche in nutriment we have seen their frenzy growth all over the world and in all lattitudes.
Upwelling , nutriants, runoff , fresh water , and edies curents seems every time the ingrediant needed for a large algal bloom.
Dormant cells called cysts that settle to bottom sediments. These cysts can survive for years, allowing a species to withstand nutrient starvation, extreme winter temperatures, or even ingestion by animals. When favorable conditions resume, the cysts rupture, germinate, and populate the water column with a new generation of photosynthetically active cells primed for another bloom.
