People live in a plankton world. These minus organisms are widespread throughout the oceans, covering nearly three quarters of planets and are among the most terrible forms of life on Earth.
But the heating world throws Plankton in a mess and threatens the entire sea chain of food built on them.
A year ago, Nasa launched a satellite that gave the most stylish view of the diversity and distribution of phytoplacton. His insights should help scientists understand the variable dynamics of life in the ocean.
“Do you like to breathe? Do you like to eat? If your answer is that for any of them, then you care about phytoplanccton, “said Jeremy Werdell, a chief scientist for a satellite program, called Pace, which means” Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ocean Ecosusystem. “
Historically, Ships research has recorded limited recordings on time, offering only the views of the ocean that are constantly changing. The appearance of the satellite gave a fuller picture, but one is still limited, like watching glasses with a green filter.
“You know it’s a garden, you know it’s nice, you know it’s plants, but you don’t know which plants,” explained Ivona Cetinenic, Nasa -na Oceanographer. Pace satellite effectively removes the filter and finally reveals all the colors of the garden, she said. “It’s like seeing all the flowers of the ocean.”
These flowers are phytoplankton, small water algae and bacteria that photosynthesize to live directly from sun energy. They eat them zooplankton, the smallest ocean animals, which in turn feed fish and larger creatures.
