✦AI Summary
Scientists studying the East China Sea utilized a rare opportunity to sample ocean water before and after Typhoon Maria in 2018. The study reveals how intense storms mix ocean layers, significantly altering bacterioplankton communities and biogeochemical cycles.
Why it matters
Understanding how typhoons affect ocean chemistry is vital for predicting the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems and carbon sequestration.
