| Description: |
This study shows that a rise in planktonic biodiversity in the extratropical North Atlantic Ocean in recent decades paralleled a decrease in the mean size of zooplanktonic copepods and that the reorganization of the planktonic ecosystem toward dominance by smaller organisms may influence the networks in which carbon flows, with negative effects on the downward biological carbon pump.
