PANAJI: Experts have said that the primary production underpins many ocean ecosystems services are under threat from climate change expert.
“Net primary production underpins many ocean ecosystems services, but is under threat from climate change. Projections of potential changes in net primary production are poorly constrained,which raises challenges for predicting and managing future change,” the summary by NIO states
It further states that the micronutrient iron is now acknowledged as a key driver of net primary production, carbon cycling and ecosystem dynamics across large areas of the ocean, but there are also large uncertainties around how the ocean iron cycle.
The talk which is scheduled for tomorrow In this talk will explore how our understanding of biological iron cycling in the context of a changing climate affects our understanding of the response of upper trophic levels to climate change.
“I will discuss the current state of the art, in the context of the latest IPCC reports, and speculate on where the field is moving in the future,” said Prof. Alessandro Tagliabue
