Heatwave-mediated decreases in phytoplankton quality negatively affect zooplankton productivity
Jihyun Olivia Kim, Alexandra Dimitriou, Ian Forster, Ian Forster This is a plain language summary of a Functional Ecology research article which can be found here. Phytoplankton in lakes and oceans produce vast quantities of key elements and nutrients. These products are necessary for the proper growth and development of a range of animals, including zooplankton, fish, and humans. We know from studies conducted on … Continue reading Heatwave-mediated decreases in phytoplankton quality negatively affect zooplankton productivity
