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...

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...

Creator:: Barner, Allison K.
Abstract:: Ecologists must increasingly balance the need for accurate predictions about how ecosystems will be affected by climate change, against the fact that making such predictions at the ecosystem-level may be infeasible. Although information about responses of individual species to a changing environment is increasing, scaling such information to the community...

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...
