Regionally-differentiated El Niño impacts
Phytoplankton respond within hours to days to perturbations in environmental conditions. This makes them ideal indicators to study the first-level biological responses to climate variability and change.
The prevalence of one El Niño mode over another can have profound impacts on the marine ecosystem structure and functioning – affecting trophic interaction (fisheries) and carbon fluxes
