    What is the color of the ocean ? 1. Why

    did the green lineage rapidly decline in ecological importance during the early Mesozoic? 2. Why have terrestrial photoautotrophs not followed similar trajectories following the end-Permian extinction? 14 / 30

    What is the color of the ocean ? 1. Why

    did the green lineage rapidly decline in ecological importance during the early Mesozoic? 2. Why have terrestrial photoautotrophs not followed similar trajectories following the end-Permian extinction? But maybe the question should be: Is the ocean really red ?
