Ocean phytoplankton and algae produce 70-80% of the earths atmospheric oxygen. Why is tree conservation for oxygen so popular over ocean conservation then?
In: Biology
Once the global temperature of the oceans warms up enough, and that won’t be long now, that algae will no longer be able to survive. In its place will be a type of algae which does not produce oxygen, but what would be considered a poisonous gas to most of the currently living species. Approximately 5% of currently existing tree species should be able to survive and continue producing oxygen, possibly enough for humans to continue living above ground.
