Short summary

Climate change may not affect phytoplankton species as such, but may lead to changes in population structure of a species, with strains exhibiting high phenotypic plasticity dominating the population. Simulated climate scenarios showed that combined effects of increased temperature and acidification counterbalanced each other in the ecologically important model organism Fragilariopsis cylindrus. The variation among strains was larger than the variation observed due to the changes in parameters.
