Coastal Warning Issued for Vital Atlantic Habitats
2014-06-29 07:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Rising temperatures, increasingly acidic seas and human destruction will drastically change the nature of the coastal seas of the north-east Atlantic over the next century, scientists predict. According to new research in the journal Ecology and Evolution, it will completely alter the forests of kelp and the maerl beds of coralline algae that serve as shelter and nurseries for baby cod and juvenile scallops. These are some of the most productive habitats on Earth -- habitats that also soak up...

Offshore renewables projects stepping stone habitats for marine wildlife
2014-05-03 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A new study has suggested that offshore renewable energy projects such as wind farms can help certain marine species to thrive, offering novel habitats to organisms that would otherwise be threatened or displaced. The study tried to assess how the presence of wind, wave and tidal energy developments, such as those off the coasts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, could affect the lives of marine fauna, in particular pelagic larvae such as barnacles, mussels and limpets. They found out that in...

Climate News: By 2100, vegetation patterns will be shifting in almost half the land area of the planet, according to new research in the journal Global and Planetary Change. Song Feng of the University of Arkansas in the U.S. and colleagues in Nebraska, China and South Korea have taken a long cool look at what the projected patterns of warming are likely to do to the planets mosaic of climate types. And they predict dramatic changes. Climate type is a century-old idea useful for making sense of geographical...
