Why is it important?
This work is the first to show the potential for basification (the opposite of ocean acidification that is occurring due to the increase in atmospheric CO2) that happens during marine phytoplankton (microalgae) blooms, to affect phytoplankton species succession, thus affecting the marine food chain.
Perspectives
A new application of our extensive range of plankton models, with a new twist to the ocean acidification story.
