Paleoecological evidence for decadal increase in phytoplankton biomass off northwestern Australia in response to climate change

Abstract Ocean warming can modify the phytoplankton biomass on decadal scales. Significant increases in sea surface temperature (SST) and rainfall in the northwest of Australia over recent decades are attributed to climate change. Here, we used four biomarker proxies (TEX86 index, long‐chain n‐alkan...
