Phytoplankton Blooms
Phytoplankton blooms, driven by conditions like sunlight, nutrients, and suitable temperatures, play a key role in oxygen production and marine ecosystems. A recent bloom southeast of Madagascar, covering 2,000 square kilometers, was fueled by nutrient-rich dust from southern Africa’s drought-affected regions. Climate change may increase such blooms, impacting marine biodiversity and carbon absorption. Research highlights the link between desertification and ocean nutrient dynamics, underlining the need for deeper studies on marine ecosystem resilience and global warming effects.
