Climate variability and multi-decadal diatom abundance in the Northeast Atlantic

Long term variability in temperature and wind patterns impacts diatom populations in the Northeast Atlantic, with warming leading to increased abundance in cold oceanic regions and decreased abundance in warm regions, according to an analysis of 60-years of continuous plankton recorder observations.
