Abstract:The interplay of phytoplankton competition and adaptation affects how
phytoplankton, and ultimately marine ecosystems, respond to global
warming. However, current ecosystem models do not consider both
processes simultaneously. To study how the interplay of competition and
adaptation affects phytoplankton responses to global warming, we
developed an innovative ecosystem model for the Baltic Sea that
simulates competition between three functional phytoplankton groups and
allows for adaptation to changing tempera… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
