"The world’s oceans are home to microscopic organisms invisible to the human
eye. The tiny creatures, known as “prokaryotes”, comprise 30% of life in the
world’s oceans.
These organisms play an important role in keeping the oceans in balance. But
new research by myself and colleagues shows this balance is at risk.
We found prokaryotes are remarkably resilient to climate change – and as a
result, could increasingly dominate marine environments.
This could reduce the availability of fish humans rely on for food, and hamper
the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon emissions."
