Earth’s oceans have been losing oxygen for decades due to global warming, and a new study suggests that these oceans will continue to do so for centuries, even if humans stopped all CO2 emissions immediately.
Bio-ORACLE 2.1 - Marine data layers for ecological modelling
Bio-ORACLE is a set of GIS rasters providing geophysical, biotic and environmental data for surface and benthic marine realms. The data are available for global-scale applications at a spatial resolution of 5 arcmin (approximately 9.2 km at the equator).
Linking biodiversity occurrence data to the physical and biotic environment provides a framework to formulate hypotheses about the ecological processes governing spatial and temporal patterns in biodiversity, which can be useful for marine ecosystem management and conservation.
