The ocean naturally absorbs a quarter to a third of man-made CO2 emissions, but this process also leads to the acidification ...

The new technique begins with large blooms of microscopic plants called phytoplankton. These phytoplankton blooms remove ...

Plankton, the base of the food chain for marine ecosystems worldwide, are facing potential dangers as the oceans warm. This ...

A Dartmouth-led study proposes a new method for recruiting trillions of microscopic sea creatures called zooplankton in the ...

They drift aimlessly at sea, soaking up sunlight from the sky and nutrients from the deep. Often invisible to the naked eye, these tiny invertebrates form the hidden backbone of ocean ecosystems.

To mitigate climate change, human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be reduced as quickly and drastically as possible. Additionally, some of the CO2 already emitted needs to be safely removed ...

Researchers have discovered significant changes in the growth patterns of deep-living phytoplankton due to global warming, as ...

This valuable research contributes to our understanding of marine plankton diversity and gene expression by employing robust methodologies for sample collection and analysis. However, it lacks a ...

Our study highlights the difference between faster human-induced and slower-paced geological warming for marine plankton. Current climate change is too rapid and is reducing food supply due to ...
