Molecular underpinnings and biogeochemical consequences of enhanced diatom growth in a warming Southern Ocean [Environmental Sciences]

The Southern Ocean (SO) harbors some of the most intense phytoplankton blooms on Earth. Changes in temperature and iron availability are expected to alter the intensity of SO phytoplankton blooms, but little is known about how these changes will influence community composition and downstream biogeochemical processes. We performed light-saturated experimental...
