Arctic Marine Food Web National Climate Assessment Marine ecosystem food webs are also being affected by climate change. changes in sea ice cover and transport of warmer seawater and drifting organisms (such as plankton, bacteria, and marine algae) may be impacting how surface ocean waters interact with the bottom ocean waters, especially over the shallow northern bering and chukchi sea shelves. The resilience of marine food webs to ongoing climate change depends on the collective interplay of multiple simultaneous species interactions 1. unprecedented changes in the composition of arctic.
Arctic Marine Foodweb Illustration Courtesy Of Arctic Climate Impact The assessment of the impacts of climate change on arctic marine food webs shows that these have reached new levels. the research published since 2011 provided growing evidence that not only environmental “primary” climate drivers but also cascading (biologically driven and direct anthropogenic) “secondary” impacts lead to important. The distributed biological observatory (dbo) has been a catalyst for national and international collaboration, technology development, and new understanding of how arctic marine food webs are changing. since its formal development in 2010, the dbo has served as a model of scientific research and has been replicated across the arctic. Wold et al. 2011;blévin et al. 2017;vihtakari et al. 2018;descamps and strøm 2021). climate change and its impacts on food webs, via for example changes in sea surface temperature and arctic and. The responses of its food web to these ongoing changes can indicate the resilience of wider arctic marine communities to future climate change 5. using food web data from both inside and outside.
