Sailing Through Chaos: Turbulence’s Impacts on Plankton
摘要
The ocean hides a world of constant movement and change. Within this dynamic realm, plankton navigate through swirling eddies of turbulence, which shape their existence in fascinating ways. Turbulence, varying in scale from large ocean currents to small chaotic motions, affects plankton differently, influencing their distribution, feeding, and growth. Some plankton species have adapted to thrive amidst this chaos, using turbulence to enhance feeding efficiency and access nutrients.
