Population Plankton: The Plankton that used to live

Reading "Warming Oceans Will Pay Major Role in Less Phytoplankton" was the most interesting article I read out of the ones that I chose. The article was about the effects of warming the waters would do on the plankton. Unfortunately with this task, the phytoplankton would then start to falter and change the whole ecosystem. With that said, the ecosystem would struggle until it could find something that either replaces the Phytoplankton or it would somehow make the animals in danger. Phytoplankton play key roles in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide levels in which regulates the climate controls in the world. The more phytoplankton presented and being made the more carob is being used and that could cause a huge issue in the populations of the world.With phytoplanktonic diversity, the wolds climate will be influenced negatively. 

     The story being told in 2010 was a story about phytoplankton and their populations. It explains that ever since the 1950's the population was dropped abundantly.

    In 2013 the article that was written was about the suffering of plankton in the warm ocean climates. With the warming of the ocean the plankton would be affected a great deal due to being main food source of the marine animals. Scarcity in the plankton would cause problems for fish and other species in the higher level in the food chain. Plankton are important in the oceanic carbon cycle because they remove half of the carbon in the atmosphere during photosynthesis. The carbon then falls deep into the ocean floor and ends up on the sea bed. Then is remains safely isolated from the atmosphere for centuries.  

    The biggest issue with this is the taking over of plankton and taking up too much carbon in the ocean. The warmer the water, the more plankton grows and takes up the ocean. The populations are measured by satellites in which are taken through a collection of data. With the plankton dying their taking most of the carbon and leaving it on the ocean floor. The more carbon down in the ocean floor, the worse off the marine animals are to live. I honestly believe that this is a huge problem and somehow we need to find a result in the matter before its too late and it takes a toll on the marine animals living in the ocean.
