PPT-Marine Ecosystems in the Southern Ocean

Sunlight and photosynthesis Abyssal plain Marine life receives a gradient of light from the surface through the photic zone much absorbed Sea ice complicates this in winter reduces light penetration. An Taisce. . April 2013. Ocean Acidification. Even if continuing levels of CO2 were not an issue in generating climate change, its impact on ocean acidification would require the same level of international action to reduce and cap emissions to scientifically acceptable limits.. All . ecosystems. contain biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic. = living features. Abiotic. = non-living physical features. Relationship between biotic and abiotic factors is important to ecosystem health. Mission Statement:.  .  . . “The Pacific County Marine Resource Committee serves as a steward for the marine and estuarine resources in our county by facilitating science based policies, research, and education that enhance the sustainability of the economy and ecology of our communities.”. Eric Schulz, CAWCR, BoM. The Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research. . A partnership between CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology. Motivation. The Southern Ocean is large (22% of world ocean) and is expected to play a significant role in the global climate system. Southern Ocean accounts for only ~10% of world’s oceans.

Summary. This lesson utilizes the example of healthy estuaries to demonstrate tools scientists use to measure ecosystem health. Students will learn the definition and function of an estuary, an essential coastal ocean ecosystem. Students will then learn methods to measure parameters of large areas using quadrats and subsets. . Key Message #1. 9. Ch. 9 | Oceans and Marine Resources. The Nation’s valuable ocean ecosystems are being disrupted by increasing global temperatures through the loss of iconic and highly valued habitats and changes in species composition and food web structure. Ecosystem disruption will intensify as ocean warming, acidification, deoxygenation, and other aspects of climate change increase. In the absence of significant reductions in carbon emissions, transformative impacts on ocean ecosystems cannot be avoided..
