Simons Collaboration on Computational Biogeochemical Modeling of Marine Ecosystems
Ocean productivity depends on a delicate balance of competing forces. New research reveals how feedbacks, thresholds, and resource trade-offs combine to shape the growth of phytoplankton, the microscopic plants that sustain life in the sea.
