Short summary
Phytoplankton are tiny organisms that support marine life and influence the planet’s climate. Using a computer model, we studied how future climate change may affect them in the southern South China Sea. We found that warmer waters and reduced nutrient availability could lower phytoplankton growth, potentially reducing food sources for bigger marine creatures and impacting fisheries and coastal communities in the region.
