Understanding the mechanisms that determine how phytoplankton adapt to warming will
substantially improve the realism of models describing ecological and biogeochemical …

Phytoplankton are responsible for half of all oxygen production and drive the ocean carbon
cycle. Metabolic theory predicts that increasing global temperatures will cause …

Phytoplankton photosynthesis is a critical flux in the carbon cycle, accounting for
approximately 40% of the carbon dioxide fixed globally on an annual basis and fuelling the …

The efficiency of carbon sequestration by the biological pump could decline in the coming
decades because respiration tends to increase more with temperature than photosynthesis …

Rising ocean temperatures will alter the productivity and composition of marine
phytoplankton communities, thereby affecting global biogeochemical cycles. Predicting the …

Marine phytoplankton generate half of global primary production, making them essential to
ecosystem functioning and biogeochemical cycling. Though phytoplankton are …

Model projections indicate that climate change may dramatically restructure phytoplankton
communities, with cascading consequences for marine food webs. It is currently not known …

Understanding how changes in temperature affect interspecific competition is critical for
predicting changes in ecological communities with global warming. Here, we develop a …

Abstract Models of marine biogeochemistry capture the effects of temperature on
phytoplankton growth via the monotonic, exponential Eppley coefficient, without considering …

The universal temperature dependence of metabolic rates has been used to predict how
ocean biology will respond to ocean warming. Determining the temperature sensitivity of …
