What is Climate Change and Seafloor Ecology about?

Squeezed between the land and the sea, coastal ecosystems are at the forefront of climate change. This chapter identifies climate change as a multiple stressor and cumulative effects problem associated with elevated temperature, increased frequency of extreme events, increased storms, ocean acidification and sea level rise, considering how these are likely to interact to affect ecosystem structure and functions and can be an important driver of tipping points. Mitigation measures for some of the effects in coastal ecosystems are discussed to help identify the importance of working with both stressors and ecosystem response to find solutions to climate impacts.
