Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores how increasing UV radiation and nutrient levels affect phytoplankton in the Mediterranean Sea, which is vital to marine food webs.

  • - The interaction between UV radiation and phosphorus had mixed results, enhancing some photosynthetic rates but ultimately reducing primary production and biomass due to increased photodamage from excess electron flows following nutrient boosts.
