New Paper: Rising CO2, Ocean Acidification and Food Web Collapse
A new paper published in听听shows our coastal food webs could be on the brink of collapse due to rising CO2 levels causing oceans acidification.
The research听led by Environment Institute Member, Silvan Goldenberg, a PhD candidate found that increased temperature and CO2 levels had an overall detrimental effect on their simulated ocean environment.
Environment Institute members Ivan Nagelkerken, Camilo Ferriera, Hadayet Ullah and Sean Connell were also involved in the study.
They suggest from their results, we can help to reduce the indirect effects of听effects on ocean acidification on ecosystems by
