The ICTA-UAB study published in the scientific journal, the Nature Communications, reveals that the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and ocean is highly modulated by a unique group of photosynthesizing plankton called coccolithophores. Data from the study shows that coccolithophores, tiny algae less than a hundredth of a millimeter, account for 90% of the carbonat
