Significance
|
It is the most abundant global coccolithophore, sometimes
occurring in massive blooms. It is an environmentally important
phytoplankton that forms elaborate plates of calcium carbonate,
called coccoliths, around it. It represents an important
component of the marine carbon cycle as it exports calcium
carbonate from the surface of the ocean to the bottom. It may
also play significant role in the global climate change.
