Rapid shifts in picoeukaryote community structure in response to ocean acidification
Abstract Rapid shifts in picoeukaryote community structure were observed during a CO2 perturbation experiment in which we followed the development of phytoplankton blooms in nutrient-amended mesocosms under the present day or predicted future atmospheric pCO2 (750 μatm, seawater pH 7.8). Analysis of...
