Climatic extremes are becoming increasingly common against a background trend of global warming. In the oceans, marine heatwaves (MHWs)-discrete periods anomalously warm water-have intensified and become more frequent over past century, impacting integrity ecosystems globally. We review synthesize current understanding MHW impacts at individual, population, community levels. then examine how these affect broader ecosystem services discuss state research on biological MHWs. Finally, we explore emergent approaches to predicting occurrence andimpacts future events, along with adaptation management approaches. With further increases in intensity frequency projected for coming decades, MHWs emerging as pervasive stressors A deeper mechanistic their is needed better predict adapt increased activity Anthropocene.

Impacts of ocean warming on kelp forest ecosystems

Kelp forests represent some of the most diverse and productive habitats on Earth, provide a range ecosystem goods services which human populations depend. As distribution ecophysiology kelp species is strongly influenced by temperature, recent warming trends in many regions have been linked with concurrent changes populations, communities ecosystems. Over past decade, number reports ocean impacts has risen sharply. Here, I synthesise studies to highlight general patterns trends. While responses climate change vary greatly between basins, species, there compelling evidence show that poses an unequivocal threat persistence integrity forest ecosystems coming decades.

Abstract Prolonged high-temperature extreme events in the ocean, marine heatwaves, can have severe and long-lasting impacts on ecosystems, fisheries associated services. This study applies a heatwave framework to analyse global sea surface temperature product identify most events, based their intensity, duration spatial extent. Many of these yet be described terms physical attributes, generation mechanisms, or ecological impacts. Our synthesis identifies commonalities between characteristics seasonality, links El Niño-Southern Oscillation, triggering processes ocean productivity. The intense preferentially occur summer, when climatological oceanic mixed layers are shallow winds weak, but at time preceding maximum temperatures. Most subtropical heatwaves were triggered by persistent atmospheric high-pressure systems anomalously weak wind speeds, with increased insolation, reduced heat losses. Furthermore, tended coincide chlorophyll- concentration low mid-latitudes.
