海洋热浪破坏浮游生物并阻拦深层碳沉没,从而削弱海洋的碳储存。 Marine heatwaves weaken the ocean’s carbon storage by disrupting plankton and blocking deep carbon sinking.

海洋热浪正在通过改变浮游生物群落和妨碍生物碳泵,破坏海洋储存碳的能力,这是一项新的研究发现。 Marine heatwaves are disrupting the ocean’s ability to store carbon, a new study finds, by altering plankton communities and hindering the biological carbon pump. 研究人员分析了阿拉斯加湾两次热浪的数据, 发现温暖的水域导致富含碳的粒子停留在海洋上层, 而不是沉入深海, 减少长期碳储存. Analyzing data from two major heatwaves in the Gulf of Alaska, researchers discovered that warm waters caused carbon-rich particles to stall in the upper ocean instead of sinking to the deep sea, reducing long-term carbon storage. 影响因事件而异,有机物和粒子行为来源不同,但两者都削弱了海洋在缓解气候变化方面的作用。 The impacts varied between events, with different sources of organic matter and particle behavior, but both weakened the ocean’s role in mitigating climate change. 研究结果突出表明海洋生态系统面临的威胁日益增加,并强调需要持续进行海洋监测。 The findings highlight growing threats to marine ecosystems and underscore the need for sustained ocean monitoring.
