Summary

This review examined changes in phytoplankton communities along the Northern Antarctic Peninsula in the context of climate change, identifying key drivers and knowledge gaps. The authors argue that predicting future phytoplankton shifts requires robust collaboration across Antarctic research programmes under a common framework, with microplastic contamination among the stressors affecting community composition.

Phytoplankton Changes in the NAP knowledge has shed light on the response of phytoplankton to climate change, in order to truly comprehend and predict changes in phytoplankton communities, there must be a robust collaboration effort integrating both Antarctic research programs and the whole scientific community under a common research framework.
