sMarD - Global Changes in Marine Plankton Diversity and Productivity
First meeting: 30.11.-04.12.2015
PIs:
Aleksandra Lewandowska;
Boris Worm
iDiv members:
Helmut Hillebrand
Project summary:
Human activities have greatly affected marine biodiversity and productivity. Although oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth, changes in biodiversity of marine plankton and their consequences for global ocean productivity are still poorly understood. Here, we propose a large-scale analysis of changes in diversity of marine plankton to understand recent trends in global ocean primary production and their consequences for ecosystem structure and the services they provide to humanity.
