气候模型中缺少关键的海洋微生物,这有可能造成不准确的气候预测。
Key ocean microbes are missing from climate models, risking inaccurate climate projections.
在主要气候模型中,微小的海洋生物,如浮游植物和对碳固存和海洋化学至关重要的浮游生物的计算,基本上缺失或过于简化。
Tiny ocean organisms like phytoplankton and calcifying plankton, crucial to carbon sequestration and ocean chemistry, are largely missing or oversimplified in major climate models.
这些微生物吸收二氧化碳,并帮助将其运输到深海,但它们的复杂相互作用、人口变化和对变暖、酸化和养分变化的反应没有得到准确的反映。
These microorganisms absorb carbon dioxide and help transport it to the deep ocean, but their complex interactions, population changes, and responses to warming, acidification, and nutrient shifts are not accurately represented.
科学家警告说,这种遗漏有可能破坏海洋碳吸收和气候变化影响的预测,敦促更好地将其生物过程纳入模型,以改进长期预测和气候政策规划。
Scientists warn this omission risks undermining projections of ocean carbon uptake and climate change impacts, urging better integration of their biological processes into models to improve long-term forecasts and climate policy planning.
