Seasonal patterns and multidecadal trends in phytoplankton functional groups in the Benguela upwelling system off Namibia

Moloto, T.M., Thomalla, S.J., Smith, M., Piketh, S., Bell. T. Seasonal patterns and multidecadal trends in phytoplankton functional groups in the Benguela upwelling system off Namibia. In press, Science of the Total Environment.

Understanding the response of phytoplankton to climate change is crucial for predicting shifts in marine ecosystems. Despite the Benguela being the world’s most productive eastern boundary upwelling system, the distribution and susceptibility of its phytoplankton functional groups (PFGs) to climate change remain poorly understood.
