Toward quantifying the response of the oceans' biological pump to climate change
The biological pump makes a major global contribution to the sequestration of carbon-rich particles in the oceans’ interior. This pump has many component parts from physics to ecology that together control its efficiency in exporting particles. Hence, the influence of climate change on the functioning and magnitude of the pump is likely to be complex and non-linear. Here, I employ a published 1...
متن کاملBiological Impacts of Climate Change
Global climate is swiftly changing, with poorly known consequences for biodiversity and human well being. In the last 90 years Earth’s mean temperature rose 0.6°C, a rate of increase that has not been seen in 10,000 years. Since the mid-1990s, it has been clear that mean global temperature rose during the twentieth century, but for several more years the cause of the observed warming was much d...
متن کاملThe role of mixotrophic protists in the biological carbon pump
The traditional view of the planktonic food web describes consumption of inorganic nutrients by photoautotrophic phytoplankton, which in turn supports zooplankton and ultimately higher trophic levels. Pathways centred on bacteria provide mechanisms for nutrient recycling. This structure lies at the foundation of most models used to explore biogeochemical cycling, functioning of the biological p...
متن کاملBiological diversity, ecology, and global climate change.
Worldwide climate change and loss of biodiversity are issues of global scope and importance that have recently become subjects of considerable public concern. Unlike classical public health issues and many environmental issues, their perceived threat lies in their potential to disrupt ecological functioning and stability rather than from any direct threat that may pose to human health. Over the...
متن کاملBiological invasions, climate change and genomics
The rate of biological invasions is expected to increase as the effects of climate change on biological communities become widespread. Climate change enhances habitat disturbance which facilitates the establishment of invasive species, which in turn provides opportunities for hybridization and introgression. These effects influence local biodiversity that can be tracked through genetic and geno...
