How a warming ocean is changing the base of the marine food web
Climate change is causing warming in the oceans, which can have significant effects on marine food webs. Rising ocean temperatures can intensify seawater stratification, a process in which ocean water forms layers of different densities that mix less readily. This can reduce the supply of nutrients to surface waters and favor smaller phytoplankton species that are better adapted to low-nutrient…
