Global change is altering oceanic temperature, salinity, pH, and oxygen concentration, directly and indirectly influencing marine microbial food web structure and function. As microbes represent >90% of the ocean's biomass and are major drivers of biogeochemical cycles, understanding their responses to such changes is fundamental for predicting the consequences of global change on ecosystem functioning. Recent findings indicate that marine archaea and archaeal viruses are active and relevant components of marine microbial assemblages, far more abundant and diverse than was previously thought. Further research is urgently needed to better understand the impacts of global change on virus-archaea dynamics and how archaea and their viruses can interactively influence the ocean's feedbacks on global change.
全球变化正在改变海洋的温度、盐度、pH值和氧浓度，直接或间接地影响海洋微生物食物网的结构和功能。由于微生物占海洋生物量的90%以上，并且是生物地球化学循环的主要驱动因素，了解它们对这些变化的反应对于预测全球变化对生态系统功能的影响至关重要。最近的研究结果表明，海洋古菌和古菌病毒是海洋微生物群落中活跃且重要的组成部分，其丰富度和多样性远超此前的认知。迫切需要进一步开展研究，以更好地了解全球变化对病毒-古菌动态的影响，以及古菌及其病毒如何相互作用影响海洋对全球变化的反馈。
