Study - how marine heatwaves are reshaping the shape & carbon content of #phytoplankton in NE Pacific. Elongated cells dominate during warming, likely altering the carbon pump. Long-term #CPRsurvey data is critical to understanding #climatechange impacts at microbial scales. doi.org/10.1002/lno....
