Understanding the mechanisms that govern biological diversity in various environments is one of the greatest challenges for the scientific community of today. Compared to terrestrial and benthic habitats, mechanisms regulating species diversity in planktonic ecosystems have been dealt with relatively little. This is mainly due to the scarcity of the experimental evidence from field studies where the multitude of spatiotemporal scales have been covered with sufficient resolution. This paper discusses the peculiarities of the aquatic system as a growth environment for phytoplankton in comparison to terrestrial/connected systems. Examples of the regulation of species diversity in the Baltic Sea are presented.
了解在各种环境中支配生物多样性的机制是当今科学界面临的最大挑战之一。与陆地和底栖栖息地相比，调节浮游生态系统中物种多样性的机制受到的关注相对较少。这主要是由于实地研究的实验证据稀缺，在这些研究中，众多时空尺度尚未得到足够分辨率的覆盖。本文讨论了与陆地/相连系统相比，水生系统作为浮游植物生长环境的独特之处。文中还给出了波罗的海物种多样性调节的例子。
