We also suggested that a warming climate will simultaneously enhance the productivity of large phytoplankton, such as diatoms, in coastal regions, owing to increased wind-driven upwelling 1.

This situation favours the growth of small plankton that have high surface to volume ratios over larger organisms, such as diatoms. Here, I contend that the presence of other factors renders this ...

This valuable research contributes to our understanding of marine plankton diversity and gene expression by employing robust methodologies for sample collection and analysis. However, it lacks a ...

An austral spring 2024, a phytoplankton bloom off the coast of Argentina painted the waters blue and green. Blooms are common ...

The UK's spring phytoplankton bloom is normally dominated by diatoms, a group of phytoplankton that come in beautiful shapes. Encased in glass-like silica shells, diatoms are mostly green due to ...

These tiny living jewels are part of phytoplankton, which produces up to half of the ... Hopefully, the discovery will help ...

These minute living jewels are a major part of phytoplankton ... harmful algal blooms, and limit future outbreaks of shellfish amnesic poisoning. This study is published in Diatom Research.
