Migration to the north: climate change puts plankton on the move 0 SHARES Share it! That is the conclusion of new research published Thursday in the journal Nature examining the make-up of plankton communities across the northern hemisphere. That means they create an indispensable and unparalleled record of what plankton communities in different parts of the world have looked like going back centuries. What he found was that modern communities of plankton often bore little resemblance to the communities recorded in the sediment below. Instead, the modern communities looked like the sediment record in waters further south, suggesting plankton species have migrated north as the water temperature there became more like their original habitats.
