Phytoplankton drives ocean biogeochemical cycles and regulate Earth’s climate yet are poorly represented in ocean-climate models. This project will use advanced cell sorting and analysis techniques and innovative selection experiments to gain a deeper understanding of phytoplankton diversity and nutrient utilisation under projected climate change. This new knowledge will be used to improve the biological structure of an existing coupled ocean-climate model and reduce key uncertainties in forecasts of ocean function. This research will provide managers and industry with more accurate insight into the effects of ongoing climate change on the delivery of ecosystem services in eastern Australian waters.

浮游植物驱动海洋生物地球化学循环，调节地球气候，但在海洋气候模型中的代表性很差。该项目将使用先进的细胞分选和分析技术以及创新的选择实验，以更深入地了解预计气候变化下的浮游植物多样性和营养利用。这一新知识将用于改进现有海洋-气候耦合模型的生物结构，并减少海洋功能预测中的主要不确定性。这项研究将为管理人员和行业提供更准确的洞察力，持续的气候变化对澳大利亚东部沃茨生态系统服务的影响。
