«Without the existence of these proteins that could help phytoplankton cope in these stressful environments, the phytoplankton diversity in many regions of the ocean would be much lower, in particular by reducing large phytoplankton such as diatoms that are known to take up a lot of carbon dioxide, thus
possibly accelerating the pace of a warming planet,» said Marchetti, assistant professor of marine science at UNC - Chapel Hill.
Adopting new technologies has become an integral part of real estate in recent years, and Stark expects the
pace of innovation to continue — and
possibly even
accelerate — over the next decade.
