[…] les océanographes craignent que les océans tropicaux et tempérés d'une Terre réchauffée, où la circulation profonde sera ralentie par une couche de surface plus chaude, soient moins productifs. Seuls les océans Arctique et Antarctique pourraient, à l'inverse, l'être davantage car la réduction du brassage des eaux aurait là un effet positif en concentrant plancton et sels nutritifs dans la zone éclairée. 2, record 1, French, - brassage%20d%27eau
