The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

SUMMARY Kelp forests are threatened by rising ocean temperatures. However, the effects of warming on early life stage interactions among co‐occurring kelp species, particularly competitive dynamics and reproductive timing, remain poorly understood. This study investigates the effects of temperature on embryonic sporophyte competitive interactions and ...

Secondary production (zooplankton and benthos)
In order to understand the dynamics of an ecosystem, it is necessary to determine the contribution of the different groups to total biomass as well as to evaluate their turnover rates and the amount of organic matter that each produces per unit time.

Effects of salinization on tropical freshwater wetland primary producers and aquatic invertebrates
Sea level rise is expected to transform coastal aquatic ecosystems world‐wide. The freshwater wetlands of tropical northern Australia are among the most biodiverse and productive ecosystems on the continent, but owing to high regional rates of sea level rise coupled with low‐lying land and large tides they are increasingly affected by saltwater ...
