The Tiny Ocean Organisms That Could Help The Climate In a Big Way
Stocktrek Images / Getty Images Some of the littlest organisms in the ocean wield incredible influence, both on their ecosystems and on the planet. Like plants do on land, phytoplankton absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide and expel oxygen. They process so much of those two gases, in fact, that they’re responsible for half of the carbon sequestered by photosynthesis worldwide and half of the oxygen in the atmosphere…….Continue reading….

📢 Scientists have found a mysterious source of oxygen at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, far from any sunlight needed for photosynthesis. This phenomenon, discovered in a region rich with polymetallic nodules, suggests an unknown energy source might be splitting water molecules to produce oxygen. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02393-7
