THE CONVERSATION
Tiny marine plants face a mixed bag thanks to climate change
Professor Philip Boyd discusses his article, published in Nature Climate Change, mapping out the environmental factors the influence phytoplankton, and how they might change due to global warming.
There’s good news and bad news, but the new models will help scientists better figure out how phytoplankton, and the ecosystems that depend on them, will be affected by climate change.
