An international team of scientists from France, Japan, Austria and other countries evaluated the effects of global warming on the diversity of life in the oceans. The study was published in the scientific journal magazine Contact Earth and Environment (CEE).
Experts conducted a series of experiments using models that predict the impact of rising global temperatures and changes in oxygen levels in seawater.
Tests have shown that as our planet continues to warm, the amount of water that can provide habitable habitat will decrease. This will affect at least dozens of species of marine life.
For example, tuna lives in the oxygenated upper layers of the ocean and cannot enter deeper waters. Even if the world temporarily warms by more than 2°C, the area suitable for tuna life will continue to shrink for hundreds of years.
“Ecosystems must adapt to these changes or face the risk of collapse, with significant environmental, social and economic consequences,” the report states.
