Our new co-led work with Guang Gao @NatureComms shows that abrupt pH-shifts to estimate the response of #diatoms to ocean acidification lead to different evolutionary outcomes with consequences for diatom productivity and biogeochemical cycles. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Abrupt pH changes overestimate the responses of Chaetoceros muelleri to ocean acidification
