Plankton will store more carbon as Earth’s climate warms, but storage beyond the end of the century is uncertain — ScienceDaily

The amount of carbon stored by microscopic plankton will increase in the coming century, predict researchers at the University of Bristol and the National Oceanography Centre (NOC). Using the latest IPCC models (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the team expects the ‘Biological Pump’ — a process where microscopic plants, often called phytoplankton, take up carbon … Read more
