This book deals with the importance of oceanic plankton in the evolution of the chemical properties of the biosphere and its particular importance in the regulation of the composition of the atmosphere. These marine organisms are responsible for the formation of carbonate and silica deposits and rocks and therefore contribute to the regulation of the carbon cycle, and of the climate. They are crucial in the regulation of cloud formation and the radiation balance of the planet.
