Anthropogenic climate change affects marine plankton populations in the Mediterranean Sea
Anthropogenic climate change is already affecting the marine plankton populations present in the western Mediterranean Sea. This is the result of a study led by the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB) thatwarns on the increasing surface ocean temperature lowering organic matter production (primary production), which has negative impacts on plankton communities and marine biodiversity.
