The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

There is mounting evidence of species redistribution as climate warms. Yet, our knowledge

Here, we present the most up-to-date assessment of climate change impacts on biodiversity …

The future response of marine ecosystem diversity to continued anthropogenic forcing is
poorly constrained. Phytoplankton are a diverse set of organisms that form the base of the …

The global ocean has warmed substantially over the past century, with far-reaching
implications for marine ecosystems. Concurrent with long-term persistent warming, discrete …
