Climate change is altering ocean food at its source, reducing protein in phytoplankton and impacting marine life across the ...

We are what we eat. And in the ocean, most life-forms source their food from phytoplankton. These microscopic, plant-like ...

It is estimated that ocean temperature warming will cause phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass to decrease by 6% and 11% respectively by the end of the century. A lower amount of these two main ...

A new study from researchers from the Faculty of Science at Charles University in the Czech Republic shows that microscopic communities of phytoplankton—key primary producers in aquatic ecosystems—can ...

Each year, vast blooms of phytoplankton spread across the Southern Ocean, drawing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and fueling Antarctica’s marine food web. For decades, scientists have attributed ...

Just last year wildfires generated over 2.1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions around the globe. That’s the equivalent of driving 500 million gas-powered cars around for a year, according ...

Climate change doesn’t always reduce life, some ecosystems may stay productive or even grow as conditions become more ...

A new article reveals for the first time that microscopic marine algae known as phytoplankton have been declining globally over the 20th century. Phytoplankton forms the basis of the marine food chain ...

The Bosphorus is a strait that separates Europe from Asia — and in recent days, its normally dark blue waters have turned a remarkable turquoise. Some residents of Istanbul, noticing the suddenly ...
