Associate Professor Will Cornwell, the study's principal author, adds that herbarium collections are incredible "time capsules of plant specimens." It's no longer feasible to go through items manually because the National Herbarium of New South Wales alone...
Climate change, causing oceans to become more green
Posted on 16 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi

The greening indicates increased phytoplankton and algae in the surface waters. Phytoplankton contain chlorophyll which makes the ocean appear greener.
The tropical and subtropical waters between 40°S and 40°N latitude changed the most in color. These areas...
