Responses of Coastal Ecosystems to Climate Change: Insights from Long-Term Ecological Research

Daniel C. Reed et al.

Summary: Coastal ecosystems play a crucial role in society, but climate change is causing significant changes to their ecological structure and function. This article reviews research on coastal ecosystems shaped by foundation species to demonstrate how climate change is impacting their ecological attributes and services. Long-term, site-based studies are invaluable for understanding the resilience of coastal systems, identifying thresholds for ecological shifts, and investigating the capacity of coastal ecosystems to adapt to climate change and the underlying biological mechanisms.

Marine heatwaves of differing intensities lead to distinct patterns in seafloor functioning

Laura Kauppi et al.

Summary: Marine heatwaves caused by climate change have significant impacts on species, communities, and ecosystem functioning. This study demonstrates that moderate and strong heatwaves affect bioturbation, solute fluxes, and macrofaunal metabolism, highlighting the importance of understanding these effects in predicting future changes.

Ninety years of coastal monitoring reveals baseline and extreme ocean temperatures are increasing off the Finnish coast

Norman Goebeler et al.

Summary: Long-term coastal monitoring in Finland reveals an intensification of warm temperature extremes and a decrease in cold extremes. The study compares satellite-derived sea surface temperatures with in situ measurements and finds significant differences. The analysis also shows that marine heatwaves have occurred in all seasons in recent years, with greater intensity and duration than before. The findings underscore the importance of long-term in situ data and careful selection of reference periods when studying climate change.

Biogeochemical extremes and compound events in the ocean

Nicolas Gruber et al.

Summary: The ocean is warming, losing oxygen, and becoming more acidic due to anthropogenic carbon emissions. Extreme events such as marine heatwaves are intensifying and occurring more frequently. Understanding of these events and their impacts is limited, with compound events potentially interacting synergistically to have greater effects.

Handling the heat: Responses of two congeneric limpet species to environmental temperature differences

J. C. Redfern et al.

Summary: Poleward migrations of coastal marine species are occurring due to anthropogenic climate change. Temperature plays a crucial role in influencing species distributions, with different species showing diverse responses to temperature. Understanding individual species' responses to temperature is essential to predicting the impacts of climate change.

Increasing Coral Reef Resilience Through Successive Marine Heatwaves

Michael D. Fox et al.

Summary: Global ocean warming has led to declines in coral reefs, but research in the central equatorial Pacific suggests that selective mortality during recurrent heatwaves may help coral communities adapt to future warming. Identifying and facilitating conditions for coral survival and recovery are crucial steps towards successful stewardship of coral reefs in the 21st century climate change.

Benthic estuarine communities' contribution to bioturbation under the experimental effect of marine heatwaves

M. Dolbeth et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of marine heatwaves on benthic estuarine communities and ecosystem functioning, finding that community composition and structure remained similar under warming conditions, with a slight increase in bioturbation and nutrient release. However, these responses were not consistent with the duration of heatwave exposure, highlighting the complexity of estuarine communities' contribution to ecosystem functioning under warming conditions.
