title = "Phytoplankton, Calcareous Nanoplankton - The Coccolithophores",
abstract = "Coccolithophores are small unicellular marine algae which form small scales made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to adorn their cells, making them key to the production of CaCO3 and its export from the upper ocean to deep-sea sediments. Since their appearance 200 million years ago they have diversified in cell architecture and ecology to an incredible degree, making them key components of both modern and past plankton communities and biogeochemical cycles. As a group, the coccolithophores have weathered previous climatic events, and continue to face challenges in a modern ocean which is rapidly warming and acidifying.",
