Contaminants in biota from ICES DOME (Marine Environment)
The result is a broad spectrum of chemical parameters from metals, PAHs, brominated flame retardants, TBT and TBT effects in sediment and biota, to histopathology, ocean acidification and benthos and plankton ...
Dissolved Oxygen Level
The dataset contains a set of projected changes in marine physics and biogeochemical variables used to infer climate change indicators, as well as changes in the lower trophic levels (plankton) of the ...
Ocean pH level
The dataset contains a set of projected changes in marine physics and biogeochemical variables used to infer climate change indicators, as well as changes in the lower trophic levels (plankton) of the ...
Ocean acidification
Almost one quarter of human-caused carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions are absorbed by oceans, resulting in ocean acidification, i.e. a decrease in the ocean water pH. Ocean acidification has increased rapidly causing pH to drop by approximately 30% sin…
Pelagic Habitats
Pelagic habitats create the foundation for marine food webs, home to primary producers such as phytoplankton and microbes. These habitats are highly dynamic and exhibit swift responses to environmental variables such as large phytoplankton blooms.
Food Webs
Marine food webs describe the linkages between all living organisms found in the marine environment, where every plant and animal species depends on another plant or animal species for its survival. This interdependency can be explored in predator–pr…
Air signals
This section of the zero pollution monitoring assessment presents a series of short case studies that highlight additional sources of information on the impacts of air pollution on ecosystems.
Open ocean — ocean chemistry: dissolved oxygen and ocean acidity
The chemical properties of seawater, such as oxygen content, acidity and salinity, have significant impacts on the health of marine ecosystems. When carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in seawater, it forms carbonic acid, which makes the sea…
How climate change impacts marine life
This briefing summarises some of the ways in which climate change is impacting Europe’s marine ecosystems. It identifies how various ecosystem features are influenced by climate change and spotlights potential areas of concern. It also highlights are…
