Przykład
Scientists monitor phytoplankton populations to assess ocean health and productivity.
Changes in ocean temperature can affect the distribution and growth of phytoplankton.
The abundance of phytoplankton supports diverse marine life, including fish and whales.
Scientists study the biomass of phytoplankton in oceans to understand their role in the marine food web.
During the day, zooplankton inhabit deeper layers of the ocean to avoid predation, rising to the surface under the cover of darkness to feed on phytoplankton.
