Impacts to Seabirds Seabirds
in the park and throughout southern California are impacted by many factors including contaminants, oil spills, invasive
species, and
changes in the
ocean environment.
Outside your cottage you are surrounded by beauty, tropical gardens with an emphasis on unusual
species, extensive decks, a variety of tropical fruits, scenery that
changes as the sun rises over the
ocean and then sets over the mountains, the moon over the
ocean, the milky way
in a bright and brilliant night sky that is hard to believe.
Elsewhere
in the
oceans, the environmental
changes during the PETM led to shifts
in the distribution of plankton groups, with tropical
species invading the high latitudes and high - latitude
species dwindling
in abundance.
There are fast feedback
changes in some things (e.g. sea ice), and longer - continuing
changes in other things (e.g. the Antarctic cap ice;
ocean circulation; plankton
species frequency and distribution;
ocean pH; terrestrial rainfall and erosion).
Karl Schroeder: If there is any life on Earth
in 100 years, I foresee either an ecological catastrophe, with the majority of
species extinct, the
oceans stagnant, the arctic and Antarctic desolate and lifeless, and billions of people living
in complete ignorance of how things could be,
in massive urban centres; or, a world
in which climate
change was solved early and completely through innovations
in power generation and carbon sequestration, where agriculture has gone to vertical farming and North America has largely been rewilded back to forest and open prairie, and where extinct
species are regularly recreated by genetic engineering and reintroduced.
We analysed responses of the calcifying larvae of sea urchins, an ecologically important group, to
ocean change stressors
in a synthesis of data from
species from tropical to polar environments and from intertidal to subtidal habitats.
Just another thread (besides overfishing) which very likely
changes life
in oceans (
species variety et al)!!!
I wonder, given the recent news about the various ways plankton actively affect the
oceans, including churning the upper 100 meters, if any of the cycles could reflect big
changes in which
species predominate over time.
We don't have good information on the base of the food chain for most of the past — that's just «noise» but now that we start having ways to track trends
in primary productivity — what's being made out of sunlight, water and CO2, by which organisms, and how fast do their populations
change (remembering that some plankton populations turn over a new generation
in a couple of weeks so relative numbers of different
species can
change that fast across the
oceans).
Given all the independent lines of evidence pointing to average surface warming over the last few decades (satellite measurements,
ocean temperatures, sea - level rise, retreating glaciers, phenological
changes, shifts
in the ranges of temperature - sensitive
species), it is highly implausible that it would lead to more than very minor refinements to the current overall picture.
The findings of a new hybrid
species of shark goes to show just how versatile life can be
in dealing with the ecosystem altering forces of climate
change — proving yet again that within the depths of the world's
oceans and its most keenly adapted inhabitants, there may be no shortage of natural marvels and awesome phenomena left to be discovered.
In the face of manifest climate
change, the imminence of peak oil and peak natural gas, the increasing extinction of
species, the pollution of the
oceans and their consequent dead zones, and the population of the world continuing to grow, to see our pattern of consumption beyond our basic needs continuing... well it's quite disheartening.
In a 2002 report for the Navy on climate
change and the Arctic
Ocean, the Arctic Research Commission, a panel appointed by the president, concluded that
species were moving north through the Bering Strait.
I think this paper, and a few others like it that have been published
in recent years, indicate that the response of differernt coccolithophore
species to
changing CO2 is
species dependent and more studies will be required to determine how these responses from different
species might cause a shift
in species abundances
in the
oceans and the ecosystem as a whole.
The news service reports, «Scientists believe climate

By 2010 impacts long predicted were turning up, sooner than many had expected — acidification of the
oceans, unprecedented deadly heat waves, record - breaking floods and droughts, heat - related
changes in the survival of sensitive
species.
Other aspects of global warming's broad footprint on the world's ecosystems include
changes in the abundance of more than 80 percent of the thousands of
species included
in population studies; major poleward shifts
in living ranges as warm regions become hot, and cold regions become warmer; major increases (
in the south) and decreases (
in the north) of the abundance of plankton, which forms the critical base of the
ocean's food chain; the transformation of previously innocuous insect
species like the Aspen leaf miner into pests that have damaged millions of acres of forest; and an increase
in the range and abundance of human pathogens like the cholera - causing bacteria Vibrio, the mosquito - borne dengue virus, and the ticks that carry Lyme disease - causing bacteria.
Does it line up with our
ocean data sets, our satellite data sets, boreholes and our 100s of records of
changes in species behaviour and phenology.
Changes in species range and abundance were all attributed to Co2 climate change, but a thorough examination of each data set revealed false attribution due to limited historical context, cyclical changes due to ocean oscillations and landscape

«Those who work on the
ocean day - to - day live with effects of small
changes in climate, while observing the subsequent
changes in habitat and
species behaviors.
Whether it's CO2 emissions, temperature
change,
ocean dead zones, freshwater resources, vertebrate
species or total forest cover, the grim charts virtually all point
in the same dismal direction, indicating continued momentum toward doomsday.
The cumulative effect of environmental threats like climate
change,
ocean acidification and overfishing, brings the world's interconnected
ocean close to a phase of extinction of marine
species that is «globally significant» and unprecedented
in human history, an international panel of marine scientists states.
But other elements could potentially also contribute to a collapse: an accelerating extinction of animal and plant populations and
species, which could lead to a loss of ecosystem services essential for human survival; land degradation and land - use
change; a pole - to - pole spread of toxic compounds;
ocean acidification and eutrophication (dead zones); worsening of some aspects of the epidemiological environment (factors that make human populations susceptible to infectious diseases); depletion of increasingly scarce resources [6,7], including especially groundwater, which is being overexploited
in many key agricultural areas [8]; and resource wars [9].
Previous research has shown that global warming will cause
changes in ocean temperatures, sea ice extent, salinity, and oxygen levels, among other impacts, that are likely to lead to significant shifts
in the distribution range and productivity of marine
species, the study notes.
