Environment - Marine primary productivity by coastal and oceanic region 1998–2023

This indicator estimates the amount of phytoplankton in ocean water. Phytoplankton are microscopic algae and primary producers. They form organic matter that ultimately enables those higher up the food web to survive.

本指标估算海洋水体中浮游植物的含量。浮游植物是微小的藻类，也是初级生产者。它们构成了有机物质，最终使得食物链中更高层次的生物得以生存。
