DIATOMS AND OCEANIC BALANCE. “This group contributes approximately 40% to primary net production in the oceans. This success is suggested to be caused at least in part by the ability of diatoms to respond and adapt to large fluctuations in light irradiance, thereby maintaining high photosynthetic efficiency over a wide range of environmental conditions.” Important review of diatoms.
