\n A new study from researchers at Stanford University reports massive blooms of phytoplankton have dramatically enhanced the Arctic Ocean\u2019s ability to soak up carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n

Published in Science<\/a> Magazine, the study found that the growth of the tiny algae had increased by 57 percent between 1998 and 2018.<\/p>\n

Using a new ocean color algorithm, the team from the college\u2019s Department of Earth System Science combed over a collection of measurements of the green plant pigment chlorophyll.<\/p>\n

The data \u2014 taken around the clock by satellite sensors and research cruises \u2014 was not easily obtained, as phytoplankton have adapted to the Arctic\u2019s extremely low light.<\/p>\n

The researchers found the rise in net primary production (NPP) of the phytoplankton, or how fast plants and algae convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into nutrients, was \u201cdriven primarily by increased phytoplankton biomass,\u201d likely due to an influx of newly introduced nutrients.<\/p>\n

They theorized that the potential source of these nutrients could be other oceans or the Arctic\u2019s own depths.<\/p>\n

Despite NPP increases initially only being linked to melting sea ice, the team observed continued productivity even after melting had slowed around 2009. While the Arctic phytoplankton were once metabolizing more carbon over more open water because of changes in ice levels, they have now become more clustered.<\/p>\n

These conclusions reportedly suggest that the ocean could \u201csupport higher trophic-level production and additional carbon export.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senior author Kevin Arrigo, a professor at Stanford\u2019s School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences, said the thickening phytoplankton biomass signaled a \u201csignificant regime shift\u201d for the region.<\/p>\n

However, there were some issues to note.<\/p>\n

Because sea ice is melting earlier in the year, the phytoplankton ballooning may have been out of sync with the rest of the food web. A similar study authored by Universit\u00e9 Laval\u2019s Marcel Babin suggests icepack reduction exposing the Arctic Ocean to sunlight promotes the phytoplankton biomass buildup.<\/p>\n

In addition, as waters open up, there may be more traffic and the Arctic is taking in more greenhouse gas emissions, of which carbon dioxide makes up the vast majority.<\/p>\n

Arrigo said that while the Arctic Ocean is absorbing more carbon, he didn\u2019t believe it would be able to \u201chelp us out of our climate problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skeptics have largely dismissed fears over man\u2019s impact on global warming, saying climate change has been going on since the beginning of time. They\u2019ve also claimed the dangers of a warming planet are being wildly exaggerated and question the impact that fossil fuels have had on climate change.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
