One, which the authors themselves note, is that the warming of the Arctic Ocean that is already happening could trap nutrients in deeper, cooler layers that would make them less available to feed algae blooms.

After over three billion years of evolution in the oceans, multi-cellular life — beginning with green algae, fungi, and plants (liverworts, mosses, ferns, then vascular and flowering plants)-- began adapting to land habitats by creating a new «hypersea,» and adding anomalous shades of green to Earth's coloration more than 472 million years ago (Matt Walker, BBC News, October 12, 2010; and Qiu et al, 1998 — more on the evolution of photosynthetic life and plants on Earth).

Another is that an increase in Arctic cloud cover — a plausible outcome of global warming, which promotes evaporation from the oceans — could deprive algae of the sunlight they need to thrive.

Blooms of algae in the Arctic Ocean could add a previously unsuspected warming feedback to the mix of factors driving temperatures in the north polar regions up faster than any other place on the planet, according to the authors of a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Eventually, however, terrestrial red and green algae and the first lichens developed on land and the final big rise in oxygen may have been caused by the «greening of the continents from around 800 million years ago,» when these simple early lifeforms on land steadily spread and broke down rocks that sustained a higher rate of erosion and led to the release of more nutrients into the oceans that stimulated even more photosynthesis by more newly evolved algae as well as older cyanobacteria (Nick Lane, New Scientist, February 10, 2010).
