The ocean enabled the diversification of life on Earth by adding O2 to the atmosphere, yet
marine species remain most subject to O2 limitation. Human industrialization is intensifying …

Globally, anomalously warm temperature events have increased by 34% in frequency and
17% in duration from 1925 to 2016 with potentially major impacts on coastal ecosystems …

Global environmental change (including climate change, biodiversity loss, changes in
hydrological and biogeochemical cycles, and intensive exploitation of natural resources) is …

Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to decrease oceanic oxygen (O2)
concentrations, with potentially significant effects on marine ecosystems. Geologically recent …

Anthropogenic influences on the biosphere since the advent of the industrial age are
increasingly causing global changes. Climatic change and the rising concentration of …

Extreme climatic events can trigger abrupt and often lasting change in ecosystems via the
reduction or elimination of foundation (ie, habitat‐forming) species. However, while the …

Abstract King, JR, Agostini, VN, Harvey, CJ, McFarlane, GA, Foreman, MGG, Overland, JE,
Di Lorenzo, E., Bond, NA, and Aydin, KY 2011. Climate forcing and the California Current …

In addition to the extensive coral reef habitats described in Chapter 5, the shallow subtidal
and intertidal zones around the coasts of Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) often …

Anticipating ecological responses to global climate changes is a formidable challenge. The
complexities of the mechanisms driving both global climate changes and biotic responses to …

Rapidly rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations are driving acidification in parallel with
warming of the oceans. Future ocean acidification scenarios have the potential to impact …
