Global impacts of marine heatwaves on coastal foundation species

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: June 13, 2024

Abstract With increasingly intense marine heatwaves affecting nearshore regions, foundation species are coming under increasing stress. To better understand their impacts, we examine responses of critical, habitat-forming (macroalgae, seagrass, corals) to in 1322 shallow coastal areas located across 85 ecoregions. We find compelling evidence that intense, summer play a significant role the decline globally. Critically, detrimental effects increase towards warm-range edges and over time. also identify several ecoregions where don’t respond heatwaves, suggestive some resilience warming events. Cumulative heatwave intensity, absolute temperature, location within species’ range key factors mediating impacts. Our results suggest many ecosystems losing species, potentially impacting associated biodiversity, ecological function, ecosystem services provision. Understanding relationships between offers potential predict impacts critical for developing management adaptation approaches.

Contrasting Impacts of Two Types of El Niño on Interannual Variations of Marine Heatwaves in the South China Sea

Journal of Geophysical Research Oceans, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 130(3)

Abstract This study utilizes multiple observational and reanalysis data sets to investigate the contrasting effects of Eastern Pacific (EP) Central (CP) El Niño on interannual variations marine heatwaves (MHWs) in South China Sea (SCS) from developing autumn decaying summer Niño. EP is associated with more frequent, intense, prolonged MHWs throughout its life cycle, while CP linked a general decrease MHW characteristics, except summer. During Niño, an anomalous anticyclone over SCS during induces warming mainly by increasing shortwave radiation diminishing latent heat release, fostering development. The persists into summer, intensified influence western North subtropical high (WNPSH). Reduced are primarily attributed cooling early cessation connected enhanced Ekman upwelling, negative horizontal advection caused cyclone around SCS. fade due northeastward shift WNPSH compared scenario, which reduces ability warm sea surface temperature (SST) evolutions events highlight thermal status as critical factors for occurrence persistence, underscoring necessity assess state preceding SST increases research.

Response of Future Summer Marine Heatwaves in the South China Sea to Enhanced Western Pacific Subtropical High

Geophysical Research Letters, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 50(14)

Published: July 20, 2023

Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prevalent in the South China Sea (SCS) and primarily caused by anomalous western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) which suppresses SCS summer monsoon. Our study investigates future MHWs response to enhanced WPSH. The results show that WPSH will be strengthened most models under highest emission scenario. Total days of significantly increase with enhancement peak at end 21st century. high‐value area total (>50 days) appears south‐central SCS. intensity exhibits little strengthening In addition, weakening cold filament due also favors MHWs. Furthermore, increased severe create a higher bleaching risk for coral reefs.

Marine Heatwaves in the South China Sea: Tempo-Spatial Pattern and Its Association with Large-Scale Circulation

Remote Sensing, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(22), P. 5829 - 5829

Published: Nov. 17, 2022

A marine heatwave (MHW) can significantly harm ecosystems and fisheries. Based on a remotely sensed sea surface temperature (SST) product, this study investigated MHWs behaviors in the South China Sea (SCS) throughout warm season (May to September) from 1982 2020. The distributions of three MHW indices used showed significant latitudinal variations: more frequent, longer, intense appear northern SCS, less shorter, weaker southern SCS. Using empirical orthogonal function (EOF) method, we found that first leading modes account for than half total variance. reveal uniform anomalies with maximum deep central portion its surroundings. Their corresponding time series interdecadal variations, turning point around 2009. Since 2010, SCS has seen an increase frequency, length, severity MHWs. incidence been linked presence stable near-surface anticyclonic anomalies, which reduced cloud cover increased solar radiation. This abnormal pattern was usually accompanied by intensification westward shift western North Pacific subtropical high (WNPSH). findings imply may be predictable interannual decadal scales.

Causes of 2022 summer marine heatwave in the East China Seas

Advances in Climate Change Research, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 633 - 641

Published: Sept. 9, 2023

Recent occurrences of marine heatwaves (MHWs) in coastal China seas have caused serious impacts on ecosystem services and socio-economics. Nevertheless, the underlying physical process, including local drivers remote associations, remains poorly understood, thereby hindering accurate predictability. In this study, we reported an extreme MHW event East Seas (ECSs, Bohai, Yellow, Sea), lasting for 75 d with a maximum intensity 1.96 °C relative to 1982–2011 during summer 2022. This ECSs was triggered by combination anomalous atmospheric oceanic conditions, enhanced insolation, weakened surface wind speed, suppressed latent heat loss from ocean, shallower mixed layer, upper ocean current anomaly. Mixed-layer temperature budget diagnosis suggested that changes were dominated net flux, largely due strong shortwave radiation development decay event. Oceanic advection also created favorable conditions maintenance MHW. These further regulated westward expanded intensified western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH), potentially linked negative phase Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). Despite three years (2020‒2022) consecutive La Niña events, MHWs appeared be more closely IOD lagging period 1–3 mon. The seasonal precursor signals potential affect through regulating strength position WPSH, thus serving as promising predictor MHWs. future likelihood are projected increase substantially coming decades, broad-scale warming attributed anthropogenic climate change. Consequently, there is urgent need develop forecasting early warning systems, robust approaches address
