Pathways between primary production and fisheries yields of large marine ecosystems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The shift in marine resource management from a compartmentalized approach of dealing with resources on a species basis to an approach based on management of spatially defined ecosystems requires an accurate accounting of energy flow.

Human-induced intensification of sea surface temperature regime shifts threatens global Large Marine Ecosystems [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsGlobal oceans have warmed markedly and will continue to do so. Superimposed on this trend are abrupt, persistent decadal regime shifts between warm and cold phases that alter ocean–atmosphere dynamics and reshape ecosystem composition and function ...

The Spatiotemporal Patterns and Environmental Effects of Pelagic Communities in the Northwest Pacific Ocean Based on Sound Scattering Layer Descriptors [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe sound scattering layer (SSL) plays an important role in maintaining the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems. The spatiotemporal distribution of the SSL largely reflects the distribution of pelagic communities within the water column ...

Seasonal Prediction of Arabian Sea Marine Heatwaves
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Marine heatwaves are known to have a detrimental impact on marine ecosystems, yet predicting when and where they will occur remains a challenge. Here, using a large ensemble of initialized predictions from an Earth System Model, we demonstrate skill in ...

Online Monitoring of Seawater Carbon Dioxide Based on an Infrared Rear Beam Splitter
Sensors, 2023 The ocean is one of the most extensive ecosystems on Earth and can absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide. Changes in seawater carbon dioxide concentrations are one of the most important factors affecting marine ecosystems. Excess carbon dioxide can lead

Microplastics in Marine Ecosystems
Sustainable Aquatic Research, 2022 Large plastic debris is broken down into smaller pieces by different mechanisms such as weathering, light degradation and biodegradation, eventually turning into microplastics (˂5 mm).

Skillful Multi‐Month Predictions of Ecosystem Stressors in the Surface and Subsurface Ocean
Earth's Future, 2023 Anthropogenic carbon emissions and associated climate change are driving rapid warming, acidification, and deoxygenation in the ocean, which increasingly stress marine ecosystems. On top of long‐term trends, short term variability of marine stressors can
