Which consequence results when thermocline depth increases during upwelling?

💡 Explanation

Reduced thermocline disruption limits nutrient replacement because density stratification inhibits convective overturn; this 'nutrient-pump' upwelling efficiency declines; therefore less nutrient transfer; rather than the plankton benefitting or the salinity decreasing in this thermal/depth increase situation.
