Ken H Andersen @kenandersen.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Introducing the NUM model version 1.0 (github.com/Kenhasteande...): a validated plankton community model designed for global plankton ecology on a laptop. No more phyto/zooplankton but a modern description of mixotrophs and multicellular plankton. 043
Reposted by Ken H AndersenAndrew Yool @dryool.bsky.social · 22/07/2026🚨New GMD publication alert!🚨 🌊 Amalia Papapostolou and colleagues (incl. @kenandersen.bsky.social) have published a new #plankton model - NUM v1.0 - that structures ecological relationships around organism size, and includes chemostat, water column and global configurations. Check it out ...gmd.copernicus.orgComputational library for the nutrient-unicellular-multicellular plankton modeling framework v. 1.0Abstract. The nutrient-unicellular-multicellular (NUM) model is a trait-based model of unicellular and multicellular plankton that uses body size as the main structuring variable for community composi... 074

Ken H Andersen @kenandersen.bsky.social · 21/02/2025We usually think of photosynthetic bacteria as the main N2 fixers in the world's oceans . Using a mechanistic model we estimate that heterotrophic bacteria are responsible for 10% of the global N2 fixation. And it also occurs temperate waters. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...science.orgParticle-associated N2 fixation by heterotrophic bacteria in the global oceanHeterotrophic bacteria fix N2 in more diverse environments than previously thought, critical for the oceanic nitrogen cycle. 072
Ken H Andersen @kenandersen.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Squid die when they reproduce. We estimate that sinking squid carcasses locks away 11-12 Mt carbon/year in the deep oceans. Increasing squid fisheries interrupts this sequestration and sends it to our dinner plates - where it is respired to the atmosphere. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 0125
