The SAPPHIRE project investigates the influence of islands on phytoplankton in the tropical Pacific, aiming to understand nutrient enrichment effects on marine ecosystems. It combines satellite data and in situ studies to assess ecological impacts.
Phytoplankton, the tiny algae that fix carbon dioxide via photosynthesis, represent the base of the oceanic food chain and support essentially all life in the oceans.
In the tropical Pacific, where phytoplankton biomass is low, local nutrient enrichments near islands support ecosystems characterized by higher biomass and biodiversity.
While this ""island effect"" has been known for 60 years, the vast majority of islands remain unstudied and impacts at the basin scale are unknown.
