The land-to-ocean loops of the global carbon cycle

Pierre Regnier et al.

Summary: This study assesses the land-to-ocean cycling of carbon through inland waters, estuaries, tidal wetlands and continental shelf waters, and highlights the impact of neglecting these changing carbon fluxes on carbon storage estimates. Key knowledge gaps are identified for future assessments to reduce uncertainties in understanding the global carbon cycle.

Increasing River Alkalinity Slows Ocean Acidification in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Fabian A. Gomez et al.

Summary: This study used an ocean-biogeochemical model to assess the spatiotemporal patterns of ocean acidification in the Gulf of Mexico from 1981 to 2014. The findings show that alkalinity from the Mississippi-Atchafalaya River System counteracted the progression of ocean acidification.

The Chesapeake Bay program modeling system: Overview and recommendations for future development

Raleigh R. Hood et al.

Summary: The Chesapeake Bay is the largest, most productive, and most biologically diverse estuary in the continental United States, but it is negatively impacted by excessive nutrient and sediment inputs from human activities. The Chesapeake Bay Program is a unique partnership created to guide and promote restoration efforts, with a focus on improving simulation of watershed inputs and estuarine water quality to enhance local nutrient and sediment management plans. Effective collaborations among stakeholders and transparent processes are emphasized for successful modeling system improvements and better communication of outcomes.

Historical increases in land-derived nutrient inputs may alleviate effects of a changing physical climate on the oceanic carbon cycle

Fabrice Lacroix et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that increased terrigenous nutrient inputs can enhance global marine NPP, offsetting the decrease due to increased upper ocean stratification. The relative increase in coastal ocean NPP is mainly driven by increased riverine inputs, exceeding 100% in some regions. The effects of enhanced terrigenous nutrient inputs also extend offshore, resulting in increased NPP in the open ocean.

Using Global-Scale Earth System Models for Regional Fisheries Applications

Kelly A. A. Kearney et al.

Summary: Climate change can impact ocean ecosystems through various mechanisms, such as shifts in primary productivity, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation. Global Earth system models (ESMs) are increasingly used in fisheries management and other marine resource applications, but projections of relevant metrics may vary widely between ESMs due to structural differences in biogeochemical sub-models. Understanding these differences is important for their application in marine resource management.

Projecting ocean acidification impacts for the Gulf of Maine to 2050: New tools and expectations

S. A. Siedlecki et al.

Summary: The study reveals that ocean acidification in the Gulf of Maine is expected to worsen by 2050 due to recent warming and changes in regional circulation, especially near the coast and in subsurface waters. Despite most of the Gulf of Maine experiencing conditions below the critical Omega(a) threshold for a significant portion of the year under the projected climate scenario, the compensatory effect of projected warming will elevate saturation states above critical levels, preserving important fisheries locations.
