This book contributes to the current discussion on global
environmental changes by discussing modifications in marine
ecosystems related to global climate changes. In marine ecosystems,
rising atmospheric CO2 and climate changes are associated with
shifts in temperature, circulation, stratification, nutrient input,
oxygen concentration and ocean acidification, which have
significant biological effects on a regional and global scale.
Knowing how these changes affect the distribution and abundance of
plankton in the ocean currents is crucial to our understanding of
how climate change impacts the marine environment. Ocean
temperatures, weather and climatic changes greatly influence the
amount and location of nutrients in the water column. If
temperatures and currents change, the plankton production cycle may
not coincide with the reproduction cycle of fish. The above changes
are closely related to the changes in radiative forcing, which
initiate feedback mechanisms like changes in surface temperature,
circulation, and atmospheric chemistry.
