Which consequence results when increased freshwater influx slows thermohaline circulation?

💡 Explanation

Reduced mixing from slower thermonaline circulation decreases nutrient supply to the surface, limiting phytoplankton blooms because of reduced upwelling; therefore, primary productivity declines, rather than productivity increasing in other regions or enhancing unrelated hurricane events.
