In a new research, scientists have found that plankton, the basis of marine food webs, might grow faster in warmed up oceans. The sheer diversity of ocean food webs has made experts fear it would be impossible to predict how climate change will affect marine ecology. But, Mary O’Connor and marine scientist colleagues at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, may have solved the problem. (The study was also covered by Scientific American and Science Now, among other media outlets.)
