In the vibrant yet fragile waters of the Gulf of Oman, spectacular phytoplankton blooms – visible even from space – unfold in ...

Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean acidification reduces primary production, the process of photosynthesis in ...

We have suggested that future warming climate scenarios will result in a shift in the phytoplankton community in the central ocean gyres towards smaller cells, and that under such conditions ...

This is the metadata section. Skip to content viewer section. Ocean acidification is changing the nature of inorganic carbon availability in the global oceans. Diatoms account for ~ 40% of all marine ...

Ecosystems in the Southern Ocean, the body of water surrounding Antarctica, are under threat from climate change. The area's inhabitants, from whales to krill to phytoplankton, face changes such ...

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 ...

They are an internationally recognised type specimen repository, containing representatives from freshwater, brackish and marine environments. All major diatom groups, both fossil and recent, are ...

“It’s like seeing all the flowers of the ocean.” These flowers are phytoplankton, tiny aquatic algae and bacteria that photosynthesize to live directly off energy from the sun. They are ...

There are some 10-12,000 known species of freshwater diatoms, with a further 200-250,000 suspected species. A series of projects investigating their morphology, phylogenetic relationships and ...
