global warming,
ocean acidification, and loss of
biodiversity.
It has been suggested that a top - down allocation approach is more appropriate for boundaries where human activities exert a direct impact on the Earth (that is, climate change,
ocean acidification, ozone depletion and chemical pollution), while a multiscale approach is more appropriate for boundaries that are spatially heterogeneous (that is biogeochemical flows, freshwater use, land - system change,
biodiversity loss and aerosol loading).8 Even with a top - down approach and a single
global boundary, however, allocation is fraught with difficult ethical issues.
Threats to marine
biodiversity in the U.S. are the same as those for most of the world: overexploitation of living resources; reduced water quality; coastal development; shipping; invasive species; rising temperature and concentrations of carbon dioxide in the surface
ocean, and other changes that may be consequences of
global change, including shifting currents; increased number and size of hypoxic or anoxic areas; and increased number and duration of harmful algal blooms.
The planetary boundaries hypothesis, first introduced by a group of leading earth scientists in a 2009 article in Nature, posits that there are nine

ocean acidification, the ozone layer, nitrogen and phosphate levels, land use change (the conversion of wilderness to human landscapes like farmland or cities),
biodiversity loss, chemical pollutants, and particulate pollution in the atmosphere.
