  5. #Coccolithophores are single celled organisms which perform #Photosynthesis for the creation of energy, which in turn produces the oxygen that we breathe.

    They construct many intricate plates of armour - made of calcium carbonate - which they cover themselves with to protect their delicate internal cell from predation.

  7. A quoi correspondent ces teintes turquoise observées au large du #Finistère, #BZH ?

    "Il s’agit d’un bloom de #coccolithophores, du #phytoplancton... Ces végétaux ont un rôle crucial pour notre planète : en plus d'absorber des milliards de tonnes du #CO2 présent dans l'atmosphère... Ces modestes #algues unicellulaires vivent protégées dans une coque faite de pièces calcaires - #coccolithes. Lorsque la #microalgue meurt, les squelettes tombent rapidement au fond de l’eau"

    Response of #coccolithophores communities to oceanographic and atmospheric processes across the North- and Equatorial #Atlantic: Catarina Guerreiro frontiersin.org/articles/10.33

    "The deposition of dust in the #ocean transports elements such as iron and phosphorus, essential nutrients for the fertilization of marine #algae, especially in remote regions far from the continents"

  9. A Bloom in a Changing Barents Sea

    "The #BarentsSea usually has 2 major bloom seasons, with #diatoms peaking in May, June, then giving way to #coccolithophores by August. As the #climate changes, #scientists are using #satellites to track how #phytoplankton populations are responding. They observed large shifts in the location of summer #coccolithophore blooms to the northeast & an increasing presence of #Phaeocystis normally found in warmer waters"
