Ocean acidification (OA) driven by increasing atmospheric CO2 is altering marine biodiversity. However, impacts of OA on ecosystem functioning at the community level, including calcification, primary ...
Intertidal rockweed beds are often described as climate refuges for species, buffering harsh environmental conditions. Due to problems such as ocean warming, ocean acidification, eutrophication and tr...
In this context, functional saturation is defined as the state in which a system's capacity to sustain additional productive or regulatory functions becomes constrained due to cumulative anthropogenic...
Ocean warming and acidification pose significant threats to marine biodiversity and human nutrition by fundamentally altering the biochemical composition of marine organisms. A primary concern is the ...
Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) off Washington State was designated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1994 and is embedded in the northern California Cur...
To promote sustainable use of marine resources, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14): Life Below Water aims to alleviate the threats of marine pollution, habitat degradation, un...
Mangrove ecosystems are our most carbon-rich forests. They play a vital role in regulating carbon fluxes to the ocean (outwelling). These ecosystems are increasingly threatened by degradation. Here we...
Ocean acidification, driven by the absorption of anthropogenic carbon dioxide into seawater, poses a significant threat to marine environments and biodiversity. This comprehensive review examines the ...
The Planetary Boundaries (PB) framework, first introduced in 2009, has become one of the most influential conceptual tools in Earth system science for defining a 'safe operating space for humanity'. I...
