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

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.

Plankton are an important food source for many large and small ocean creatures. They also play a vital role in absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen in the ocean. The two most prominent ...

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

which plays a key role in transferring energy through the food web up to fish. A range of responses were studied in the zooplankton, from biomass and production to diversity and fatty acids. Overall, ...

Current climate change predictions indicate increased levels of warming and declining salinity in the Baltic Sea, with negative implications for plankton food webs, which are an important component ...

Focuses on the biogeochemical cycling of trace metals in marine systems. CalCOFI is a long-term, interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral ecosystem research program off the coast of California that ...

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.

Plankton are microscopic plants and animals that make up the base of the marine food chain, meaning they are a basic source of energy for marine life all the way up to large predators like sharks ...
