Abstract To evaluate the responses of microbial plankton communities to warming in coastal waters of the Pacific at different latitudes, three in situ microcosms were conducted in Taiwan and Japan during the winter of 2023. Flow cytometry was used for consecutive 7 days to monitor and analyze the microbial communities, including viruses, bacteria, and picophytoplankton ( Synechococcus spp., Prochlorococcus spp., and picoeukaryotes). The control microcosms had the same natural water temperature a
