Abstract
In marine microbial biosystems, high magnitude variations in abundance and an unstable dynamics, such as planktonic blooms alternating with extended periods of low abundances, are quite common. In many cases, such blooms are immediate consequences of seasonal variations in temperature, light and other conditions. However, variations in abundance, which are not directly associated with seasonal forcing, are also common; Anderson and May [1] provided numerous examples of observations, where irregular explosions in abundance of clearly non-seasonal nature.
