What are some examples of marine biotic factors?
Yes, can you tell me more about phytoplankton?
Phytoplankton are microscopic organisms that float near the surface of the water and are base of the food chain in aquatic ecosystems. They are the primary producers of the ocean, and are responsible for generating up to 50% of the world's oxygen. They are also a major source of food for many marine organisms.
