Global reductions in seafloor biomass in response to climate change
Seafloor organisms are vital for healthy marine ecosystems, contributing to elemental cycling, benthic remineralization, and ultimately sequestration of carbon. Deep-sea life is primarily reliant on the export flux of particulate organic carbon from the surface ocean for food, but most ocean biogeochemistry models predict global decreases in export flux resulting from 21st century anthropogenic...
متن کاملApplied Climate-Change Analysis: The Climate Wizard Tool
BACKGROUND Although the message of "global climate change" is catalyzing international action, it is local and regional changes that directly affect people and ecosystems and are of immediate concern to scientists, managers, and policy makers. A major barrier preventing informed climate-change adaptation planning is the difficulty accessing, analyzing, and interpreting climate-change informatio...
متن کاملFighting Critical Diseases
With approximately 225 million new cases and 800,000 deaths annually, malaria exacts a tremendous toll—mostly on African children under the age of five. Late-stage trials of an advanced malaria vaccine candidate—which, if approved, would become the world’s first malaria vaccine—are under way, and it may be ready for use by 2015. This article recounts the pivotal roles in that achievement played...
متن کاملClimate Change Disproportionately Increases Herbivore over Plant or Parasitoid Biomass
All living organisms are linked through trophic relationships with resources and consumers, the balance of which determines overall ecosystem stability and functioning. Ecological research has identified a multitude of mechanisms that contribute to this balance, but ecologists are now challenged with predicting responses to global environmental changes. Despite a wealth of studies highlighting ...
متن کاملClimate Change and US Electric Power
There has been intense recent interest in the vulnerability of the US electric power sector to the potentially adverse impacts of global warming. In this paper I use a three-phased approach to investigate the consequences of climate-driven temperature increases on electricity supply and demand within US states. Reduced-form long-run responses of electricity demand to temperature are estimated b...
