Natural experiments confirm that carbon removal with phytoplankton works
Research based on natural experiments shows that nutrient supply to the ocean can stimulate phytoplankton growth that binds carbon dioxide. The studies document that this process works in practice, not just in theory.
WHY IT MATTERS
This is relevant for climate technology and blue carbon sequestration, but also underscores the complexity surrounding marine geoengineering solutions and potential environmental consequences.
