«Since the microbial community is a critical part of a food web, global warming will have direct impacts on organisms feeding on plankton... What exactly and how large this impact will be will require more data to understand.»

But we wanted to observe the natural development of the plankton ecosystem from the first productivity in late winter until summer, closely monitor the succession of the plankton communities and follow how effects of ocean acidification are transmitted from one generation to the next,» Riebesell explains.

In this BIOACID Science Portrait, Ulf Riebesell tells you how the KOSMOS mesocosms, «giant test tubes», help researchers to find out more about the reactions of plankton communities to ocean acidification — and what these field experiments mean to him.

Thirty - five scientists from twelve countries deployed these «giant test tubes» in the Kongsfjord off Ny - Ålesund to investigate how ocean acidification affects the plankton community in the Arctic.

In this study we combined results from various in - situ mesocosm studies in two different ocean regions (Arctic and temperate waters) to reveal general patterns of plankton community shifts in response to OA and how these changes are modulated by inorganic nutrient availability.
