New paper by Altieri: Resilience of Tropical Ecosystems to Ocean Deoxygenation
Altieri and co-authors suggest that a community and ecosystems perspective that integrates knowledge of organismal physiology with species interactions can reveal new insights into ecological feedbacks and the potential mechanisms that underlie the resilience of tropical ecosystems to deoxygenation.
Losing Ground: Climate Change Is Altering the Rules of Ecosystem Hierarchy
Human activities are resetting which species hold the most sway over ecosystem behavior, says Christine Angelini, principal investigator for the study. Because of overfishing and climate change, purple marsh crabs are “wreaking havoc everywhere” across their range
As saltwater resculpts the East Coast, researchers say it can’t be stopped but we can adapt
“The pines, oaks, cedars and palms have this orderly trajectory of death based on who can hack it in a saline environment and who can’t” – David Kaplan, CCS.
