Phytoplankton

🧬 AI profile — grown from 6ic coverage Phytoplankton are microscopic marine plants that form the base of aquatic food webs and are responsible for producing approximately 50-85% of the Earth's oxygen through photosynthesis. They have been recognized as a potential tool for carbon sequestration due to their ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In recent studies, natural experiments have proven the effectiveness of phytoplankton in removing carbon from the atmosphere.
