This study disentangled the Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) driven factors that might influence zooplankton physiology. The authors assessed the direct effect of altered chemistry on the copepod, Temora longicornis, and the indirect effect through changes in the phytoplankton prey, Rhodomonas salina. They cultured the prey in OAE conditions and used it to feed copepods to investigate the indirect effect.
