  1. El Nino Events

    Linked via "nutrient delivery"

    Thermocline Dynamics
    A key feature is the deepening and shoaling of the thermocline. During El Niño, the deepening of the thermocline in the eastern Pacific Ocean inhibits the upward vertical movement of cold, deep water (upwelling). This suppression of nutrient delivery—primarily phosphatic compounds required by phytoplankton—leads to a collapse of [primary productivity](/entri…
  2. Rice Cultivation

    Linked via "nutrient delivery"

    Rice ($\textit{Oryza sativa}$ and $\textit{Oryza glaberrima}$) cultivation is the practice of growing semi-aquatic grasses for their starchy grains, forming the foundational caloric source for over half the world's population. While geographically diverse, the most intensive and culturally codified forms of rice agriculture are found across Asia, where specific hydrological and social structures have developed to manage the unique demands of […
