Next, he wrote a simple aqueous geochemistry model to calculate how much of these gases would have been dissolved in
shallow lakes and reservoirs —
environments that would have been more conducive to concentrating life - forming reactions, versus vast
oceans, where molecules could easily dissipate.
A pioneering study — led by scientists from Imperial College London in collaboration with marine biologists from UC Santa Barbara — found that the predators, through their fecal material, transfer vital nutrients from their open
ocean feeding grounds into
shallower reef
environments, contributing to the overall health of these fragile ecosystems.
«This is because the coastal
ocean is shallower than the open ocean and can quickly transfer sequestered carbon dioxide to the deep ocean; this process creates an additional and effective pathway for the ocean to take up and store anthropogenic carbon dioxide,» said Cai, the Mary A.S. Lighthipe Professor in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Environ

These European reptiles inhabited warm,
shallow seas of the continent, but «they were not as agile in this
environment as today's sea turtles, who are able to cover very large distances and cross seas and even
oceans,» the expert explains.
But because temperatures in
shallow reef systems often differ from the surrounding
ocean, predicting future patterns of bleaching and other stresses in those reefs depends on accurately predicting reef
environments.
Dissolved methane is chemically unstable in the oxic water column of the
ocean, but it has a lifetime of decades (shorter in high - flux
environments)[Valentine et al., 2001], so if the methane is released
shallow enough in the
ocean, it has a good chance of escaping to the atmosphere.
