Responses of Marine Organisms to Climate Change across Oceans

Elvira S. Poloczanska, Michael T. Burrows, Christopher J. Brown et al. · 4 May 2016

Climate change is driving changes in the physical and chemical properties of the ocean that have consequences for marine ecosystems. Here, we review evidence for the responses of marine life to recent climate change across ocean regions, from tropical seas to polar oceans. We consider observed changes in calcification rates, demography, abundance, distribution and phenology…

Coral Reef Ecosystems under Climate Change and Ocean Acidification

Ove Hoegh‐Guldberg, Elvira S. Poloczanska, William Skirving et al. · 29 May 2017

Coral reefs are found in a wide range of environments, where they provide food and habitat to a large range of organisms as well as other ecological goods and services. Warm-water coral reefs, for example, occupy shallow sunlit, warm and alkaline waters in order to grow and calcify at the high rates necessary to build…

Projected Marine Heatwaves in the 21st Century and the Potential for Ecological Impact

Eric C. J. Oliver, Michael T. Burrows, Markus G. Donat et al. · 4 Dec 2019

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are extreme climatic events in oceanic systems that can have devastating impacts on ecosystems, causing abrupt ecological changes and socioeconomic consequences. Several prominent MHWs have attracted scientific and public interest, and recent assessments have documented global and regional increases in their frequency. However, for proactive marine management, it is critical to understand…

Can Seaweed Farming Play a Role in Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation?

Carlos M. Duarte, Jiaping Wu, Xi Xiao et al. · 11 Apr 2017

Seaweed aquaculture, the fastest-growing component of global food production, offers a slate of opportunities to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Seaweed farms release carbon that maybe buried in sediments or exported to the deep sea, therefore acting as a CO2 sink. The crop can also be used, in total or in part, for biofuel…

Current Status of the Algae Production Industry in Europe: An Emerging Sector of the Blue Bioeconomy

Rita Araújo, Fatima Vázquez Calderón, Javier Sánchez López et al. · 27 Jan 2021

The EU Bioeconomy Strategy aims to support the sustainable growth and development of the EU bio-based sectors while creating jobs, innovation and services. Despite the recognized potential of the algae biomass value chain, significant knowledge gaps still exist regarding the dimension, capability, organization and structure of the algae production in Europe. This study presents and…
