Climate-driven basin-scale decadal oscillations of oceanic phytoplankton

Phytoplankton—the microalgae that populate the upper lit layers of the ocean—fuel the oceanic food web and affect oceanic and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels through photosynthetic carbon fixation. Here, we show that multidecadal changes in global phytoplankton abundances are related to basin-scal...
