Session ID#: 37131
Session Description:
As anthropogenic forcing of marine systems continues to accelerate, biological responses will change the structure and function of marine ecosystems. While the concurrent nature of many of these stressors has been robustly documented, research on the combined effects of multiple stressors on important life history traits and population resiliency is still in its infancy. In addition, recent advances in biogeochemical tools (e.g., stable isotopes and trace elements) offer novel, interdisciplinary insights into global change biology. We invite contributions that report on experimental, field, and modeling studies exploring the broad spectrum of potential responses to single and multiple stressors (e.g. warming, acidification, deoxygenation, eutrophication, nanoparticles) impacting the ecology, physiology, and adaptive capacity of marine organisms. We particularly welcome contributions that make connections across levels of organization (molecular to global-level processes) spatial scales, (nm-km) and temporal scales (past, present, future).
