What physical and biological factors could explain the patterns in phytoplankton concentration over depth?

Solution

the biological and physical factors :

-the balance between the biological pump, upwelling of the deep nutrient rich waters.

- carbon dioxid helps in promoting the growth of the phytoplankton

-nutrients are trapped in thw water which help in the growth of phytoplanktons

-penetration of light help the growth of phytoplanktons in the ocean beds.

-geography of the area also helps in the growth of the phytoplankton

- the temperature in the surrounding water helps in the growth of phytoplankton

-the wind turbulence also helps in the growth of phytoplanktons
