30 %的海洋生物原生虫可能在气候变化中繁荣发展,而更大的海洋生物则在减少,可能导致鱼类供应减少和全球粮食供应面临挑战。 30% marine life prokaryotes may thrive amid climate change while larger marine life declines, potentially leading to reduced fish availability and challenges to global food supply.
根据最近的研究, 海洋中最小和最古老的生物, 包括细菌和古生物, 可能成为气候变化赢家. Prokaryotes, the smallest and oldest creatures in oceans that include bacteria and archaea, may become climate change winners according to recent research. 这些生物占海洋生物的30%,在保持海洋平衡方面发挥着至关重要的作用,每年产生大约200亿吨碳。 These organisms, which make up 30% of marine life, play a crucial role in maintaining oceanic balance and produce about 20 billion tonnes of carbon a year. 虽然较大的海洋生物面临衰退,但预计公核生物将受到海洋变暖的影响较小,这可能导致海洋总体生物量减少,营养素的比例更大. While larger marine life faces decline, prokaryotes are expected to be less affected by ocean warming, which could lead to lower overall marine biomass and a greater share of nutrients being directed towards them. 这一转变可以减少人类消费的鱼类供应,限制海洋吸收碳排放的能力,对全球粮食供应构成重大挑战。 This shift could decrease the availability of fish for human consumption, limit the oceans' capacity to absorb carbon emissions, and present a major challenge to global food supply.
