“These coastal areas often have clear waters, a sign of low nitrogen, and many have coral reef ecosystems,” says Joe Roman, a biologist at the University of Vermont, who co-led the new research. “The movement of nitrogen and other nutrients can be important to the growth of phytoplankto...
We have both learned the art of capture. Maybe we are learning the art of embracing. Maybe we are learning the art of letting go. 参考译文 (清唱)我看着月亮月亮也看着我月亮还看着那些我没见过的人上帝保佑月亮上帝也保佑我上帝还保佑那些我没见过的人如果我先你一步上了天堂我会挖个洞把你也拉...
27% of coral reefs have already been and 70% of Earth's coral reefs will cease to exist within the next forty years. The world has lost half of its coastal wetlands, including mangrove swamps and salt marshes. In the next 30 years, as many as one-fifth of all species alive today ...
“I’ve spent a lot of time there, and [I’ve] never seen anyone have a panic attack because the water is so hot.” The corals, too, seemed stressed by the balmy waters. As the summer wore on, many grew pale or bone-white, a sign that they were losing their algal symbionts. ...
There are, for example, no three-dimensional bottlebrush species and just one species of staghorn coral and one tall, tabular coral, elkhorn. Importantly, these are the dominant habitat-creating functional groups on healthy reefs in both the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean. Today, many areas have ...
The results could be something like a forest gradually dying off and turning to grassland or entire coral reefs dying. Many species of plants and animals would adapt or move to deal with the shift in climate, but many would become extinct. Some ecosystems are already changing drastically due ...
‘The divers don’t see what’s going on in the background, but we’re really trying to protect everything,’ says Dino. Barriers installed at the cleaning stations to keep divers at a distance from the sharks, for example, have encouraged more threshers at the site: as many as...

Older than dinosaurs and trees, sharks have endured a lot throughout their 450 million years on Earth. They’ve even survived five mass extinctions, including the asteroid that wiped out 75% of life on the planet. But many species of these aquatic apex p
