Global change and plankton ecology in the Southwestern Atlantic

In aquatic ecosystems, global change encompasses human-induced variations in the upper layer of the water column, where most of the carbon fixation takes place. These changes include increments of exposure to solar UV radiation, mean temperature of surface seawater, ocean acidification and variation...
