Description | We demonstrated that populations of the calcifying coccolithophore phytoplankton have considerable genetic and physiological variability. Data from a number of oceanic research cruises has shown that the physiological characteristics of particular coccolithophore populations reflect primarily the environmental conditions under which they were isolated. A particular relationship with carbonate chemistry has been revealed. The findings have direct relevance to understanding the responses of natural coccolithophore populations to changing ocean carbonate chemistry associated with ocean acidification. |
