7 Ιουν 2022 · The ocean holds about 97% of the world’s water and supports 90% of the planet’s biosphere. The ocean is also of vital importance for life on our planet, serving as a support system that helps to mitigate climate change, produce oxygen, and provide food and economic possibilities for humanity.
The ocean contains an astonishing totality of genetic species and ecosystem diversity still mostly unknown but with significant implication for food production, energy, public health, business and industry, ecosystem services, and leisure, cultural and aesthetic value. Threats include over-exploitation, destruction of habitat, introduced ...
26 Νοε 2018 · Oceans cover 70% of our planet and represent over 95% of the biosphere. Marine and coastal habitats cover a diverse spectrum—from those near terrestrial environments such as coral reefs, mangrove forests, seagrass beds and estuaries, to those deep below the surface, such as open ocean, hydrothermal vents, seamounts and soft sediments on the ...
The ocean is one of the main repositories of the world's biodiversity. It constitutes over 90 per cent of the habitable space on the planet and contains some 250,000 known species, with many more...
2 Αυγ 2010 · The Mediterranean Sea is a marine biodiversity hot spot. Here we combined an extensive literature analysis with expert opinions to update publicly available estimates of major taxa in this marine ecosystem and to revise and update several species lists.
10 Οκτ 2018 · Introduction. Why is the Central Indo-Pacific (CIP) so diverse? This region, including the coral reefs of Southeast Asia and Australia, contains more species than any other in the world's oceans, across diverse taxa [1]. At similar latitudes, richness declines dramatically with distance from this hotspot [1].
5 Ιουν 2017 · The oceans appear ideal for biodiversity — they have unlimited water, a large area, are well connected, have less extreme temperatures than on land, and contain more phyla and classes than land and fresh waters. Yet only 16% of all named species on Earth are marine.
