🌊 New paper in @ambio-journal.bsky.social 🎣 Sediment organic carbon content is lower in intensely trawled areas, declining by 0.05 wt% per additional swept area ratio (1 yr-1 ). rdcu.be/fqQBA
Fig. 3 Marginal effect of swept area ratio (SAR, yr-1) on sediment organic carbon density (SCD, 9 10-2 gC cm-3; Top) and sediment organiccarbon content (OC, wt%; Bottom), predicted from a linear mixed-effects model. Lines show modelled relationships at representative mudcontents (25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles), corresponding to low (83.2%,- 0.68 SD), medium (86.2%,-0.19 SD), and high (93.1%, ? 0.94 SD)mud levels. Shaded ribbons represent 95% confidence intervals, reflecting uncertainty in fixed effects. Other covariates (sediment depth andNephrops burrow density) are held at their means

I rather not sound like the opening of Captain Planet, but Earth isn't doing great. Example this time - plankton in the Northeast Atlantic (base of the marine food web), which aren't doing well across the entire region. 🧪🌊 Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/artic…
Status of Northeast Atlantic pelagic habitats in four main habitat types (variable salinity, coastal, shelf, and oceanic/beyond shelf) of the Greater North Sea, the Celtic Seas, and the Bay of Biscay and Iberian Coast. Icons have been coloured according to indicator status. Orange indicates ‘Uncertain’ status and is the default colour if the indicator has been assessed. Red indicates that the assessment detected a trend linked to human activity (‘Not Good’ status). Current integration methods for pelagic habitats do not allow for the determination of ‘Good’ status, due to uncertainty around conditions not significantly affected by anthropogenic pressures. Grey identifies indicators that were not assessed in some regions or habitat types due to lack of data. Changes in Plankton Diversity was not included in habitat-type or regional status integration. Pelagic habitat types without results displayed indicate that the particular habitat type is not present within the OSPAR Region. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)

🌊🦞 Better tools for ocean health assessment! 🪱🪸 @lornamckellar.bsky.social's new paper delivers a robust, scalable & pressure-independent way to estimate the probability of good ecosystem status across marine systems. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🧪
The framework outlined here presents a transparent, robust, scalable and pressure-independent approach to estimate the probability of an ecosystem component being in good status for a range of marine systems. This straightforward and easily understood approach can be used to estimate thresholds for good status where they are missing for ecological condition assessments under legislation (e.g. Good Environmental Status under the MSFD) and make progress towards achieving international biodiversity objectives. In practical terms, this enables managers to take defensible decisions on whether action is needed to manage human activities and improve ecosystem health.
