Biogeochemical extremes and compound events in the ocean
The ocean is warming, losing oxygen and being acidified, primarily as a result of
anthropogenic carbon emissions. With ocean warming, acidification and deoxygenation …

Global drivers on southern ocean ecosystems: changing physical environments and anthropogenic pressures in an earth system
The manuscript assesses the current and expected future global drivers of Southern Ocean
(SO) ecosystems. Atmospheric ozone depletion over the Antarctic since the 1970s, has been …

Changing biogeochemistry of the Southern Ocean and its ecosystem implications
The Southern Ocean plays a critical role in regulating global climate as a major sink for
atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), and in global ocean biogeochemistry by supplying …

Status, change, and futures of zooplankton in the Southern Ocean
In the Southern Ocean, several zooplankton taxonomic groups, euphausiids, copepods,
salps and pteropods, are notable because of their biomass and abundance and their roles …

Effects of ocean acidification on Antarctic marine organisms: A meta‐analysis
Southern Ocean waters are among the most vulnerable to ocean acidification. The projected
increase in the CO2 level will cause changes in carbonate chemistry that are likely to be …

Larval dispersal in a changing ocean with an emphasis on upwelling regions
Dispersal of benthic species in the sea is mediated primarily through small, vulnerable
larvae that must survive minutes to months as members of the plankton community while …

Influence of global environmental change on plankton
Much has been published on the effects of ocean acidification on plankton since the original
Royal Society 2005 report. In addition to direct effects on primary production, it is clear that …

The state and future of Antarctic environments in a global context
Antarctica and the Southern Ocean comprise a critical part of the Earth System. Their
environments are better understood than ever before, yet the region remains poorly …

The impact of zooplankton calcifiers on the marine carbon cycle
Shelled pteropods and planktic foraminifers are calcifying zooplankton that contribute to the
biological carbon pump via the sinking of their calcareous shells. However, their importance …

Biological impact of ocean acidification in the Canadian Arctic: Widespread severe pteropod shell dissolution in Amundsen Gulf
Increasing atmospheric CO2, cold water temperatures, respiration, and freshwater inputs all
contribute to enhanced acidification in Arctic waters. However, ecosystem effects of ocean …
