The main way that carbon dioxide is absorbed by the ocean is through photosynthesis by planktonic algae.
Based on the field data investigated during 1999 ~ 2001, the planktonic alga and higher plant diversity resources of Lake Liangzihu wetland in Hubei Province were studied.
So where fishes use their eyes to spot planktonic prey, jellyfishes rely on body size—like the lion's mane jellyfish's 37-meter-long tentacles—to maximize their success.
It would be expected to correlate with the distribution of planktonic algae-the ultimate drivers of biological it does not.
In some places, though, iron is the limiting nutrient. Adding iron to such places should cause a bloom of planktonic algae, thus sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
