How to model the role of plankton in the ocean?

Description

Plankton, a group of aquatic microorganisms, plays an essential role in the proper functioning of the oceans and the health of our planet. But how can we measure the impact of organisms that are so small and so numerous, and incorporate such a complexity into numerical models?
