Harmful algal blooms, sometimes called HABs, occur when algae grow out of control. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that ...

Here, we synthesize experiments on 57 phytoplankton species to analyze how the growth-irradiance relationship changes with temperature. We find that light-limited growth, light-saturated growth, and ...

A 28-year study of phytoplankton interactions in Chilean coastal waters found that salinity, more than temperature, ...

Microbial species, as consumers and producers of major greenhouse gases and the dominant primary producers in the sea, have central relevance to global climate change. Phytoplankton growth rates ...

Across the tree of life, human activities are accelerating declines in biological species diversity, from deserts to oceans ...

The team analyzed whale poop for iron, known to be especially limited in the Southern Ocean, as well as copper.

In the sunlit surface layer of oceans Like land plants and seagrasses, microscopic marine algae known as phytoplankton also feed on CO2 and use photosynthesis to produce energy. Seagrasses and ...
