Study grapples with ocean climate stress challenge
Description: Researchers are struggling to solve the challenge of predicting climate change impacts on marine environments. The scientists have found that predicting such impacts could be more difficult than first thought, due to interactions between ocean ecosystems. The study found sea-level rise could damage tropical marine ecosystems by mid-century, and the response of one ecosystem, such as coral reefs, to climate change, could have significant impacts on neighboring ecosystems.
