“How different will marine food webs be at mid-century? In the next 100 years?”
Large-scale changes in marine food webs have been documented in a number of ecosystems, including the eastern Pacific, the northwest Atlantic, and along the Aleutian chain. Researchers are finding that marine food webs may transition to different configurations and that ecosystem stability and future human use can be impacted by interactions involving both bottom-up and top-down control.
