Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
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 …

Can ecosystem functioning be maintained despite climate‐driven shifts in species composition? Insights from novel marine forests
Climate change is driving a redistribution of species and the reconfiguration of ecological
communities at a global scale. Persistent warming in many regions has caused species to …

Climate‐driven substitution of foundation species causes breakdown of a facilitation cascade with potential implications for higher trophic levels
Climate change can alter ecological communities both directly, by driving shifts in species
distributions and abundances, and indirectly by influencing the strength and direction of …
