  • Patterns of macrophyte wrack deposition on sandy beaches of the Pacific Northwest coast, U.S.A.

    Creator:
    Reimer, Jessica N.
    Abstract:
    Dislodged macroalgae and seagrasses, also known as marine wrack, frequently wash into coastal ecosystems from the ocean and are potentially important ecological resources for biological communities. These!nutrient and organic matter subsidies may be especially important on sandy beaches, where little in situ primary productivity exists for higher trophic levels. To...

  • Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Coralline Algae : From Species to Community Consequences

    Creator:
    Shen, Chenchen
    Abstract:
    Oceanic uptake of rising anthropogenic CO₂ emissions has caused the emergence of ocean acidification as a major threat to marine ecosystems worldwide. Along eastern boundary current systems, seawater is naturally acidified due to coastal upwelling of low pH seawater from depth. Compounded by ocean acidification, upwelling regions are expected to...

  • Marine Mass Mortality in a Global Change Context: Impacts on Individuals, Populations and Communities

    Creator:
    Sullivan Stack, Jenna
    Abstract:
    Human actions are pushing natural systems into states that have no historical precedent. In response, empirical and theoretical researchers are increasingly focused on developing ways to predict the responses of ecological systems to change. However, significant knowledge gaps remain, often leading to “ecological surprises” where observed impacts of global change...

  • Correlation Between Coralline Algae and Community Composition in Oregon Coast Tide Pools

    Creator:
    Heppell, Dylan
    Abstract:
    Ocean acidification affects all organisms that incorporate calcium carbonate into their structure, including coralline algae. Coralline algae are a key component of the intertidal ecosystem on the Oregon coast which is why it is important that we understand how the potential loss of coralline algae to ocean acidification will impact...
