A Lagrangian model for drifting ecosystems reveals heterogeneity-driven enhancement of marine plankton blooms

Abstract Marine plankton play a crucial role in carbon storage, global climate, and ecosystem function. Planktonic ecosystems are embedded in patches of water that are continuously moving, stretching, and diluting. These processes drive inhomegeneities on a range of scales, with implications for the...
