The future of the northeast Atlantic benthic flora in a high CO 2 world
Seaweed and seagrass communities in the northeast Atlantic have been profoundly impacted by humans, and the rate of change is accelerating rapidly due to runaway CO 2 emissions and mounting pressures on coastlines associated with human population growth and increased consumption of finite resources....
