Decomposing the effects of ocean warming on chlorophyll a concentrations into physically and biologically driven contributions

Decomposing the effects of ocean warming on chlorophyll a concentrations into physically and biologically driven contributions

Recently compiled observational data suggest a substantial decline in the global median chlorophyll a concentration over the 20th century, a trend that appears to be linked to ocean warming. Several modelling studies have considered changes in the ocean’s physical structure as a possible cause, whil...
