cientists have seen the rate of growth of phytoplankton biomass across the Arctic Ocean increase by 57 percent between 1998 and 2018. Which of the following statements is an accurate possible reason for such an increase? O Thinning ice or less ice coverage due to climate change allows more light necessary to support the phytoplankton O There has been a shift in the type of chlorophyll used by Arctic phytoplankton which encourages more growth. O Commercial overfishing in the Arctic Ocean has caused a decrease in animals that eat phytoplankton O Global ocean currents are changing and trapping more phytoplankton in the Arctic
