Lessening Biodiversity (Photo : Pixabay) It said that more global warming, which is now imminent, would further reduce the diversity of biodiversity in tropical oceans. The results of the change, according to scientists, may be dramatic and difficult to foresee. Unpredictable Changes According to Prof David Schoeman, a co-author of the repor...
Marine species increasingly can’t live at equator due to global heating Graham Readfearn © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: agefotostock/Alamy Global heating has made the ocean around the equator less rich in wildlife, with conditions likely already too hot for some species to survive, according to a new study. Analysis of the changing locations of almost 50,000 marine species between 1955 and 2015 found a predicted impact of global heating – species moving away from the equator – can now be observed at a global scale. It said further global heating, which is now ...
