How Desertification On Land Is Helping Ocean Algae To Bloom, Scientists Find Proof | Science & Environment News
Scientists have found new evidence that desertification, potentially linked to global warming, leads to large amounts of nutrient-rich dust landing in the sea, causing ocean algae to grow rapidly. Biological oceanographer John A Gittings and an international group of researchers have found an example of this phenomenon in the Indian Ocean south-east of Madagascar. They…
