Study Uncovers the Different Effects of Ocean Acidification on Phytoplankton's Energy Stores

Ocean acidification-;which is mainly caused by carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere dissolving into the ocean-;is a significant threat to the structure and function of marine life. In a study published in the New Phytologist, investigators have uncovered the different effects that ocean acidification has on the energy stores of phytoplankton (single-celled plants that are critical to the aquatic food chain) called diatoms.
