Impact of global changes on phytoplankton communities
Oceans worldwide are under rapid changes due to climate perturbations; understanding the consequences of this phenomenon is a current major issue to keep environmental quality and ecosystem functioning. Climate change related effects, such as ocean acidification, temperature rising and alteration in...
