TINY PHYTOPLANKTON’S MIGHTY PUNCH. “Without this microalga’s calcium carbonate exoskeleton, the chalk cliffs on the German island of Rügen or the White Cliffs of Dover would not exist. These landmarks are nothing but gigantic calcium carbonate plate deposits – alga exoskeletons accumulated over millions of years. Moreover … (it) counteracts climate change, since it captures large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere when forming its calcium carbonate plates.””
