Effects of Elevated CO2 on a Natural Diatom Community in the Subtropical NE Atlantic

Effects of Elevated CO2 on a Natural Diatom Community in the Subtropical NE Atlantic

Diatoms are silicifying phytoplankton contributing about one quarter to primary production on Earth. Ocean acidification (OA) could alter the competitiveness of diatoms relative to other taxa and/or lead to shifts among diatom species. In spring 2016, we set up a plankton community experiment at the...
