Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

The biomass distribution on Earth
A census of the biomass on Earth is key for understanding the structure and dynamics of the
biosphere. However, a global, quantitative view of how the biomass of different taxa …

Aerobic oxidation of methane significantly reduces global diffusive methane emissions from shallow marine waters
Methane is supersaturated in surface seawater and shallow coastal waters dominate global
ocean methane emissions to the atmosphere. Aerobic methane oxidation (MOx) can reduce …

Climate velocity reveals increasing exposure of deep-ocean biodiversity to future warming
Slower warming in the deep ocean encourages a perception that its biodiversity is less
exposed to climate change than that of surface waters. We challenge this notion by …
