A trio of climatologists at the Southern Ocean Carbon–Climate Observatory, working with a colleague with the Coastal Systems and Earth Observation Research Group, all in South Africa, reports evidence ...

Phytoplankton are key players in the ocean carbon cycle. Comprised of a variety of microscopic photosynthesizing bacteria, algae, and other single-cell organisms, phytoplankton form the base of marine ...

"Bloom" with a view! Here's a look at new research into earthquakes "supercharging" plankton blooms in the Southern Ocean.

De-icing road salts — even those marketed as environmentally friendly — may harm important freshwater plankton, a new analysis indicates. The study, published in Science of the Total Environment, ...

Thanks to a new algorithm, researchers at the AWI can now use satellite data to determine in which parts of the ocean certain types of phytoplankton are dominant. In addition, they can identify toxic ...

A new model bridges the rules of life at the individual scale and the ecosystem level, which could open new avenues of exploration in ecology, global change biology, and ultimately ecosystem ...
