These organisms, found mostly in certain
ocean plankton communities, live a flexible, «mixotrophic» lifestyle.

Those three papers explore the global
ocean microbiome and
plankton interaction networks, as well as how
plankton communities change across a key
ocean circulation choke point off South Africa.
The articles on the SAHFOS site (http://192.171.163.165/) bring up the same concerns, namely that anthropogenic climate change could affect
plankton and these changes in the
plankton communities could cascade through the entire
ocean ecosystem, and show that these changes in the
plankton communities have already started.
Scientists of GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for
Ocean Research Kiel used so - called «indoor mesocosms» to mimic the future ocean in their laboratories: They transferred the natural plankton community from the Kiel Fjord into twelve 1400 - liter tanks and brought them to two different temperatures and two different carbon dioxide concentrat

«While many branching corals dominate under normal pH conditions offering ample hiding space for the different species of zooplankton,
ocean acidification shifts the
community to large, massive bouldering corals, which offer the reef - associated
plankton little opportunity for hiding».
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 situ mesocosm experiments on the effect of
ocean acidification (OA) are an important tool for investigating potential OA - induced changes in natural
plankton communities.
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.

...... Planktos will sprinkle iron dust around a 100 kilometer by 100 kilometer zone of open
ocean and Coleman predicts the
plankton community will mature within six months.
