Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Anthropogenic climate change profoundly alters the ocean's environmental conditions,
which, in turn, impact marine ecosystems. Some of these changes are happening fast and …

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 …

Phytoplankton are the base of the Antarctic food web, sustain the wealth and diversity of life
for which Antarctica is renowned, and play a critical role in biogeochemical cycles that …

Climate change is expected to modify ecological responses in the ocean, with the potential
for important effects on the ecosystem services provided to humankind. Here we address the …

Rising concentrations of atmospheric CO 2 results in higher equilibrium concentrations of
dissolved CO 2 in natural waters, with corresponding increases in hydrogen ion and …

Within the framework of the Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean
