POC, C and N assimilation in the phytoplankton community. Relative particulate organic carbon (POC) >0.7 µm (a), identified organisms >3 µm (b), carbon assimilation (c), proportion between nitrate and ammonium assimilation (d), nitrate assimilation (e) and ammonium assimilation (f), during September incubations. Assimilation rates are noted for Asterionellopsis glacialis, other chain-forming diatoms 5–20 µm, Chaetoceros spp. >8 µm, Tripos/Ceratium spp., not assigned (65% dinoflagellates, 26% diatoms based on carbon biomass and not analyzed by SIMS), and not assigned + organisms >3 µm, which can either be not assigned organisms or POC between 0.7–3 µm analyzed on the GF/F filters.
