Temperature‐dependent responses to light and nutrients in phytoplankton

My first post is finally here:

I am very excited to share our newest paper in Ecology where we present the temperature-dependent effect of multiple resources on #phytoplankton growth, using gradients of temperatures, light and nutrients.
