|a Marine ecosystems are centrally important to the biology of the planet, yet a comprehensive
understanding of how anthropogenic climate change is affecting them has been poorly
developed. Recent studies indicate that rapidly rising greenhouse gas concentrations are driving
ocean systems toward conditions not seen for millions of years, with an associated risk of
fundamental and irreversible ecological transformation. The impacts of anthropogenic climate
change so far include decreased ocean productivity, altered food web dynamics, reduced
abundance of habitat-forming species, shifting species distributions, and a greater incidence of
disease. Although there is considerable uncertainty about the spatial and temporal details,
climate change is clearly and fundamentally altering ocean ecosystems. Further change will
continue to create enormous challenges and costs for societies worldwide, particularly those in
developing countries. |
