TL;DR: In marine ecosystems, rising atmospheric CO2 and climate change are associated with concurrent shifts in temperature, circulation, stratification, nutrient input, oxygen content, and ocean acidification, with potentially wide-ranging biological effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Improved numerical models of oceanographic processes that control oxygen depletion and the large-scale influence of altered biogeochemical cycles are needed to better predict the magnitude and spatial patterns of deoxygenation in the open ocean, as well as feedbacks to climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia, A.K.A. “The Dead Zone”
TL;DR: P Paleoindicators in dated sediment cores indicate that hypoxic conditions likely began to appear around the turn of the last century and became more severe since the 1950s as the nitrate flux from the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico tripled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics and distribution of natural and human-caused hypoxia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors pointed out that the formation of hypoxic areas has been exacerbated by any combination of interactions that increase primary production and accumulation of organic carbon leading to increased respiratory demand for oxygen below a seasonal or permanent pycnocline, and the consequences of eutrophication-induced hypoxia can be reversed if longterm, broad-scale, and persistent efforts to reduce substantial nutrient loads are developed and implemented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global change and eutrophication of coastal waters
TL;DR: Rabalais et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed that global climate changes will likely result in higher water temperatures, stronger stratification, and increased inflows of freshwater and nutrients to coastal waters in many areas of the globe.
