商品描述

Marine plankton, despite their tiny size, are crucial for the functioning of marine food webs. It is not just about one organism eating another; when this happens, it helps release the nutrients accumulated within living matter, making them available again for microalgae. Plankton are present in freshwater and in all the seas and oceans on the planet. Moreover, they are responsible for supporting life on Earth and has provided us (on geological timescales) with a significant portion of the oxygen we breathe. In just a small spoonful of seawater, we can find around fifty million viruses, five million bacteria, hundreds of thousands of small unicellular flagellates, thousands of microscopic algae, five heterotrophic ciliates or dinoflagellates, and, with some luck, a small crustacean like copepods. This book aims to bridge the gap between scientific research and the general public, offering a captivating exploration of the fascinating world of marine plankton. Through engaging narratives and visually compelling illustrations, readers will gain insights into the importance of plankton in marine ecosystems, their diverse forms, and the crucial role they play in maintaining our planet's health.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

海洋浮游生物儘管體型微小，卻對海洋食物網的運作至關重要。這不僅僅是某一生物吃掉另一生物；當這種情況發生時，有助於釋放積累在生物體內的養分，使其再次可供微藻使用。浮游生物存在於淡水中以及地球上所有的海洋和海域。此外，它們負責支持地球上的生命，並在地質時間尺度上為我們提供了相當一部分我們所呼吸的氧氣。在一小匙海水中，我們可以找到大約五千萬個病毒、五百萬個細菌、數十萬個小型單細胞鞭毛蟲、數千個微小藻類、五個異營性纖毛蟲或甲藻，並且如果運氣好，還能找到像橈足類這樣的小型甲殼類動物。本書旨在彌合科學研究與大眾之間的鴻溝，提供對海洋浮游生物迷人世界的引人入勝的探索。通過引人入勝的敘述和視覺上引人注目的插圖，讀者將深入了解浮游生物在海洋生態系統中的重要性、它們多樣的形態，以及它們在維護我們星球健康中所扮演的關鍵角色。
