Thermal performance curves of functional traits aid understanding of thermally induced changes in diatom-mediated biogeochemical fluxes.

Thermal performance curves of functional traits aid understanding of thermally induced changes in diatom-mediated biogeochemical fluxes.

How the functional traits (FTs) of phytoplankton change with temperature is important for understanding the impacts of ocean warming on phytoplankton mediated biogeochemical fluxes. This study quantifies the thermal performance curves (TPCs) of FTs in the cosmopolitan model diatom, Thalassiosira pse...
