Spatial and temporal patterns of mass bleaching of corals in the Anthropocene

Science, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 359(6371), P. 80 - 83

Published: Jan. 5, 2018

Not enough time for recovery Coral bleaching occurs when stressful conditions result in the expulsion of algal partner from coral. Before anthropogenic climate warming, such events were relatively rare, allowing reef between events. Hughes et al. looked at 100 reefs globally and found that average interval is now less than half what it was before. Such narrow windows do not allow full recovery. Furthermore, warming as El Niño are warmer previously, general ocean conditions. changes likely to make more difficult recover Science , this issue p. 80

Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points

Science, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 377(6611)

Published: Sept. 8, 2022

Climate tipping points occur when change in a part of the climate system becomes self-perpetuating beyond warming threshold, leading to substantial Earth impacts. Synthesizing paleoclimate, observational, and model-based studies, we provide revised shortlist global "core" elements regional "impact" their temperature thresholds. Current ~1.1°C above preindustrial temperatures already lies within lower end some point uncertainty ranges. Several may be triggered Paris Agreement range 1.5 <2°C warming, with many more likely at 2 3°C expected on current policy trajectories. This strengthens evidence base for urgent action mitigate develop improved risk assessment, early warning capability, adaptation strategies.

The human imperative of stabilizing global climate change at 1.5°C

Science, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 365(6459)

Published: Sept. 19, 2019

Increased concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases have led to a global mean surface temperature 1.0°C higher than during the pre-industrial period. We expand on recent IPCC Special Report warming 1.5°C and review additional risks associated with levels warming, each having major implications for multiple geographies, climates, ecosystems. Limiting rather 2.0°C would be required maintain substantial proportions ecosystems clear benefits human health economies. These conclusions are relevant people everywhere, particularly in low- middle-income countries, where escalation climate-related may prevent achievement United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Global decline in capacity of coral reefs to provide ecosystem services

One Earth, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 4(9), P. 1278 - 1285

Published: Sept. 1, 2021

Coral reefs worldwide are facing impacts from climate change, overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution. The cumulative effect of these on global capacity coral to provide ecosystem services is unknown. Here, we evaluate changes in extent reef habitat, fishery catches effort, Indigenous consumption fishes, coral-reef-associated biodiversity. Global coverage living has declined by half since the 1950s. Catches fishes peaked 2002 decline despite increasing fishing catch-per-unit effort decreased 60% 1950. At least 63% biodiversity with loss extent. With projected continued degradation associated fisheries catches, well-being sustainable coastal development human communities that depend threatened.
