Drivers of Biomass and Biodiversity of Non-Chemosynthetic Benthic Fauna of the ...
Priede, Imants G.; Muller-Karger, Frank E.; Niedzielski, Tomasz; Gebruk, Andrey V.; Jones, Daniel O. B.; Colaço, AnaWe examine the main drivers that may elevate biomass and biodiversity of nonchemosynthetic benthic megafauna of the lower bathyal (800-3500m depth) of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the North Atlantic Ocean (MAR). Specifically: 1. Primary production in surface waters (10°-48°N) from remote sensing data 2002-2020 over the MAR was not significantly different from abyssal regions to the east and west. We reject the hyp...
A Decade of Incorporating Social Sciences in the Integrated Marine Biosphere Re...
van Putten, Ingrid; Kelly, Rachel; Cavanagh, Rachel D.; Murphy, Eugene J.; Breckwoldt, Annette; Brodie, Stephanie; Cvitanovic, ChristopherSuccessful management and mitigation of marine challenges depends on cooperation and knowledge sharing which often occurs across culturally diverse geographic regions. Global ocean science collaboration is therefore essential for developing global solutions. Building effective global research networks that can enable collaboration also need to ensure inter- and transdisciplinary research approaches to tackle co...
Toward a coordinated global observing system for seagrasses and marine macroalgae
Duffy, J. Emmett; Benedetti-Cecchi, Lisandro; Trinanes, Joaquin; Muller-Karger, Frank E.; Ambo-Rappe, Rohani; Boström, ChristofferIn coastal waters around the world, the dominant primary producers are benthic macrophytes, including seagrasses and macroalgae, that provide habitat structure and food for diverse and abundant biological communities and drive ecosystem processes. Seagrass meadows and macroalgal forests play key roles for coastal societies, contributing to fishery yields, storm protection, biogeochemical cycling and storage, an...
