Objectives of WP2• To separately and jointly study the ecophysiological responses of plankton components to global change related stress (variation in temperature and salinity, mainly);• To understand their effects on pelago-benthic coupling. • To develop, to calibrate and to analyze models of the processes studied with the aim of predicting long term the answers of the different communities to changes in salinity and temperature.
