The combined impact of fisheries and climate change on future carbon sequestration by oceanic macrofaunaMay 2025

by ACC Admin | May 7, 2025 | 2025, Peer Reviewed Scientific Paper, Resources, Technical / Scientific

Although the role of marine macrofauna in the ocean carbon cycle is increasingly understood, the cumulative impacts of fisheries and climate change on this pathway remain overlooked. Here, using a marine ecosystem model, we estimate that each degree of warming reduces...

Global Tiger Density Linked With Forest Carbon Stock, Top-Down and Bottom-UpMay 2025
