Phytoplankton and fisheries under regional warming in the global oceans – POSEIDON
Prime company: NATIONAL AND KAPODISTRIAN UNIVERSIT (GR)POSEIDON aims to understand the response of ocean ecosystems to climate warming and extreme events (e.g., marine heatwaves). Long-term trends (> 23 years) in phytoplankton ecological indicators (biomass, size structure and phenology) will be analysed in different regions, encompassing a range of conditions found in the global oceans. POSEIDON will further investigate the spatiotemporal variability …
