The evolutionary origin of a terrestrial flora

CF Delwiche, ED Cooper - Current Biology, 2015 - cell.com
Life on Earth as we know it would not be possible without the evolution of plants, and without
the transition of plants to live on land. Land plants (also known as embryophytes) are a …

Feeding in mixoplankton enhances phototrophy increasing bloom-induced pH changes with ocean acidification

KJ Flynn, A Mitra - Journal of Plankton Research, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Plankton phototrophy consumes CO2, increasing seawater pH, while heterotrophy does the
converse. Elevation of pH (> 8.5) during coastal blooms becomes increasingly deleterious …
