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.

Coastal wetlands, including tidal marshes, mangrove forests and flats, support the livelihoods of millions people. Understanding resilience coastal wetlands to increasing number intensity anthropogenic threats (such as habitat conversion, pollution, fishing climate change) can inform what conservation actions will be effective.

Climate change has a significant impact on the population’s health and negatively affects functioning of healthcare systems. Health systems must be operationally prepared to handle challenges posed by environmental change. Resilience is required adapt quickly critical conditions reduce carbon emissions. In this systematic review strategies, for system preparedness resilience are examined address impacts climate change, barriers faced when implementing them. To identify studies, Scopus, PubMed Google Scholar databases were searched three times (from April October 2024, 21 April, 15 June, 9 September) years 2018 using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses) methodology. Specifically, search identified 471 articles, which specified inclusion exclusion criteria (secondary studies with criteria, being in English, etc.) met sixteen (16) studies. According findings reviewed, adaptation strategies focus structural changes, development training programs, surveillance systems, appropriate operational plans. The leader’s ability motivate employees achieve defined goals, continuous evaluation goals interventions, learning from previous disasters play an important role their implementation. Similarly, key policies mitigation include adoption sustainable practices, such as recycling cultural However, lack resources (human, material, financial) increased demand services make it difficult implement strategies. mainly theoretical nature confirmed other It suggested that further research should pursued, leading sustainability formulation policies.

Abstract Kelp forests are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth, but they increasingly being degraded and lost due to a range of human‐related stressors, leading recent calls for their improved management conservation. One primary tools conserve marine species biodiversity is establishment protected areas (MPAs). International commitments protect 30% world's gaining momentum, offering promising avenue secure kelp into Anthropocene. However, clear understanding efficacy MPAs conserving in changing ocean lacking. In this perspective, we question whether strengthened global protection will create meaningful conservation outcomes forests. We explore benefits under suite different focusing empirical evidence from show that can be effective against some drivers loss (e.g., overgrazing, harvesting), particularly when maintained long‐term enforced as no‐take areas. There also reduce impacts climate change through building resilience multi‐stressor situations. often fail provide warming, heatwaves, coastal darkening, pollution, which have emerged dominant forest globally. Although well‐enforced should remain an important tool forests, successful require implementing additional solutions target these accelerating threats.

Abstract Although many studies predict extensive future biodiversity loss and redistribution in the terrestrial realm, changes marine remain relatively unexplored. In this work, we model global shifts one of most important functional groups—ecosystem-structuring macrophytes—and substantial end-of-century change. By modelling distribution 207 brown macroalgae seagrass species at high temporal spatial resolution under different climate-change projections, estimate that by 2100, local macrophyte diversity will decline 3–4% on average, with 17 to 22% localities losing least 10% their species. The current range macrophytes be eroded 5–6%, highly suitable habitat substantially reduced globally (78–96%). Global shift among regions, a potential for expansion polar regions.

Kelp forests are among the most abundant coastal marine habitats but vulnerable to climate change. The Northeast Pacific has experienced recent large-scale changes in kelp abundance and distribution, little is known about north of British Columbia (BC)-Washington border. Here, we assessed whether how floating canopy ( Macrocystis pyrifera, Nereocystis luetkean a ) distributions have changed decades along extensive coast BC. We assembled analysed available distributional data, comparing snapshots linear extent from 1.5-3 ago (1994-2007) recently collected data (2017-2021) across 11 different subregions spanning province. then leveraged timeseries, where (n = 7 sets), contextualise patterns In aggregate, suggest that declined considerably some parts province, with variable change warmest areas (southern BC), persistence was negatively correlated mean summer sea surface temperatures, which at times exceeded thermal tolerances. contrast, northern subregions, top-down control by urchins otters appeared modulate dynamics, declines occurring 2 despite cool ocean temperatures.
