Can Antarctica's shallow zoobenthos ‘bounce back’ from iceberg scouring impacts driven by climate change?

چکیده

All coastal systems experience disturbances and many across the planet are under unprecedented threat from an intensification of a variety stressors. The West Antarctic Peninsula is hotspot physical climate change has experienced dramatic loss sea-ice glaciers in recent years. Among other things, immobilizes icebergs, reducing collisions between icebergs seabed, thus decreasing ice-scouring. Ice disturbance drives patchiness successional stages seabed assemblages Antarctica's shallows, making this ideal system to understand ecosystem resilience increasing with change. We monitored shallow benthic before, during after 3-year pulse catastrophic ice-scouring events show that such can return, or bounce back, previous states within 10 Our long-term data series recovery happen more rapidly than expected, when abate, even highly sensitive cold, polar environments.

Climate Change, Climate Modes, and Climate Impacts

■ Abstract Variability of the atmospheric and oceanic circulations in the earth system gives rise to an array of naturally occurring dynamical modes. Instead of being spatially independent or spatially uniform, climate variability in different parts of the globe is orchestrated by one or a combination of several climate modes, and global changes take place with a distinctive spatial pattern res...

Prediction of Climate Change Induced Hydrogeomorphology by using SDSM in CAN Watershed

Climate change is one of the most important challenges that has affected various parts of human life on Earth. In the present study, in order to investigate the climate change, three synoptic stations of Karaj, Mehrabad and Dashan Tepeh with the help of the statistical statistic downscaling model (SDSM) model were used to predict the statistical period of 2016-2045. Finally, the effects of clim...

Climate Change Impacts Indoor Environment

For many years investigators have been aware of potential links between climate change and outdoor air quality. Far fewer studies have focused on climate change and indoor air quality, but a new report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concludes that the relationship between the two warrants further attention and action. 2 " There's not much research at this interface, and hard evidence is n...
