Climate change is projected to cause brownification of some coastal seas due to increased runoff of terrestrially derived organic matter. We carried out a mesocosm experiment over 15 days to test the effect of this on the planktonic ecosystem. The experiment was set up in 2.

- Climate change is expected to increase brownification in coastal seas, leading to more runoff of organic matter and potentially impacting the planktonic ecosystem.
- A 15-day mesocosm experiment examined the effects of different nutrient treatments on phytoplankton, finding that added inorganic nutrients led to a bloom, but did not reduce primary production, despite expected changes.
- Brownification resulted in a shift towards smaller phytoplankton species, suggesting potential changes in carbon cycling and export processes in the marine environment.
