Short summary
Marine phytoplankton plays a prominent role in regulating Earth’s climate. Numerical models are important tools that help us investigate the interactions between these microbes and their environment. We proposed PhytoSFDM as an open-source model to quantify size structure and functional diversity of marine phytoplankton communities. This tool allows us, in a manageable and computationally efficient way, to study patterns in planktonic ecosystems and their feedbacks with a changing environment.
