Our understanding of the role of marine phytoplankton in the global biogeochemical cycles of carbon and sulphur, particularly the rates and variability of primary production and calcification, phytoplankton activity and ecology in the subsurface chlorophyll maximum, and the use of satellite remote sensing to detect coccolithophore blooms, has progressed substantially through research initiated, led and undertaken by Patrick M. Holligan. The enthusiasm and commitment of Patricks colleagues for both this special issue and the symposium on "Marine Plankton: From Cells to Ecosystems" held in his honour in April 2008 at Plymouth, UK are testament to the high esteem in which he is held within the international scientific community.
