Impacts of Climate Change on Food Security: Land Management–Based Strategies Within a Nature‐Based Solutions Framework

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses serious threats to food security by affecting agricultural production processes in multiple ways. This study aims to analyze land management–based solution strategies that can be developed in response to this threat and presents a systematic and holistic framework through the relationship these strategies establish with ...

Key Scientific Developments Since the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Provides an overview of peer-reviewed research published between July 2006 and June 2009 on fossil fuel emissions; ocean acidification; projected sea level rises; rates of ice and permafrost melting and thawing, and the lasting impacts of global ...

Finding Plankton: A Marine Science Scavenger Hunt for Local Communities

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract At a time of increasing political polarization and rapidly accelerating climate change, it is important to build public knowledge and empathy toward nature to foster behavioral changes; however, addressing a knowledge deficit can be insufficient to affect these changes.

A multi-decade record of high quality fCO2 data in version 3 of the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) is a synthesis of quality-controlled fCO2 (fugacity of carbon dioxide) values for the global surface oceans and coastal seas with regular updates.

Coccolithophore particulate inorganic and organic carbon ratios: An evaluation of acid decalcification methods

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate direct measurements of coccolithophore particulate inorganic and organic carbon ratios (PIC/POC) are crucial for understanding the physiology and role these microbes play in global ocean carbon flux. Direct measurements of POC are commonly obtained by acid fuming or applying acid directly to filters to dissolve PIC (CaCO3) prior to CN

When invasions go unnoticed: Public perception of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii in Europe

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey

Ocean acidification does not prolong recovery of coral holobionts from natural thermal stress in two consecutive years

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Under predicted future ocean conditions, corals will experience frequent and intense thermal stress events while simultaneously being exposed to chronic ocean acidification.

Effects of ocean acidification on the interaction between calcifying oysters (Ostrea chilensis) and bioeroding sponges (Cliona sp.)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Ocean acidification can negatively affect a broad range of physiological processes in marine shelled molluscs. Marine bioeroding organisms could, in contrast, benefit from ocean acidification due to reduced energetic costs of bioerosion.

Effect of ocean acidification on growth, gonad development and physiology of the sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus

open access: yesAquatic Biology, 2013
Ocean acidification, due to diffusive uptake of atmospheric CO2, has potentially profound ramifications for the entire marine ecosystem. Scientific knowledge on the biological impacts of ocean acidification is rapidly accumulating; however, data are ...

The ocean carbon sink – impacts, vulnerabilities and challenges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is, next to water vapour, considered to be the most important natural greenhouse gas on Earth. Rapidly rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations caused by human actions such as fossil fuel burning, land-use change or cement production ...
