Short summary
We investigated the spatial distribution pattern and diversity of phytoplankton communities in the western Pacific Ocean (WPO) in the autumn of 2016, 2017, and 2018. The regions with strong vertical stratification were more favorable for cyanobacteria, whereas weak vertical stratification was more conducive to diatoms and dinoflagellates. It is clear that physical processes control phytoplankton community structure by driving the balance of chemical elements.
We investigated the spatial distribution pattern and diversity of phytoplankton communities in...
