A major consequence of survival at elevated temperature is the universal reduction in maximum body size recorded for species spanning small cryptobenthic fishes to larger reef piscivores in the Persian/Arabian Gulf71,77. Owing to the implication of rising ocean temperature on ecosystem productivity and...
Insights into the Coral Microbiome: Underpinning the Health and Resilience of Reef Ecosystems Corals are fundamental ecosystem engineers, creating large, intricate reefs that support diverse and abundant marine life. At the core of a healthy coral a... DG Bourne,KM Morrow,NS Webster - 《Annual Re...
Engineers also have to consider the long-term implications of nutrient pollution when carrying out a project at the planning and implementation stages concerning the resilience of marine infrastructure and overall ecosystems health. Table 1 explains the effects of nutrient pollution on marine ecosystems ...

On coral reefs, an additional challenge is to disentangle the ...
Marine protected areas increase resilience among coral reef communities. Ecol. Lett. 19, 629–637 (2016). Article PubMed Google Scholar Collins, L. et al. Fuel reduction burning reduces wildfire severity during extreme fire events in south-eastern Australia. J. Environ. Manage. 343, 118171 (...
This hinders genetic adaptation [20] and so these systems show which marine organisms are resilient today, but not which will evolve resilience in the future. Effects on habitat-forming organisms Most macroalgae can tolerate the effects of ocean acidification, with only around a 5% loss in ...
that climate-mediated coral disease mortality was more than an order of magnitude (14x) more deadly than even the largest marine construction project performed in the USA, and that until climate change is addressed, it is likely that local attempts to manage coral resilience will continue to ...
on warming level and region. Tropical glacier volume is found to decrease substantially, with almost complete deglaciation under high warming levels. The much larger glaciers in the southern Andes are less sensitive to warming and shrink on slower timescales. Runoff is projected to be reduced in ...
Environmental impacts from wind energy production devices on marine ecosystems Fig. 1: Most frequently reported environmental impacts of wind energy devices on the most representative indicators of ecosystem elements, by type (positive/negative) and magnitude (high to low). ...
A climate risk index for marine life Article 22 August 2022 Introduction There is now overwhelming evidence for human-induced climate change on a scale that may result in increasing extinction rates or ecosystem collapses1,2. Given this scenario, it has been proposed that ecosystem resilience to ...
