New study finds that warmer oceans could cut populations of Prochlorococcus — the tiny phytoplankton that produce ~20% of Earth’s oxygen and form the base of many marine food webs — by up to 50% in tropical seas by 2100 if surface waters keep rising above ~28 °C. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Decade-long field measurements and modelling show that projected ocean temperatures could restrict cell division rates of an important marine cyanobacterium.
