Plankton Modelling Revolution Urgently Needed to Safeguard Future Climate Predictions
Marine researchers from the University of Exeter and Plymouth Marine Laboratory emphasize that outdated plankton models threaten our ability to predict and address global climate change impacts. Plankton, vital microscopic organisms, are crucial for carbon cycling, marine productivity, and Earth's climate stability. However, current models oversimplify their diversity, using decades-old concepts. The study insists on a radical update of these models, incorporating modern biology and collaboration between researchers and
