Which outcome influences krill populations given decreased sea-ice algae?

💡 Explanation

Decreased algae reduce krill which feed on nitrogen-fixing bacteria; reduced food availability decreases the rate of nitrogen fixation because the bacteria are no longer supported by the food chain; therefore fixation slows, rather than other environmental processes slowing without this support.
