Misconceptions of the marine biological carbon pump in a changing climate: Thinking outside the “export” box by Wolfgang Koeve (17452710)

“…The diagnostic is conveniently applicable to both climate model data and increasingly available observational data. It can explain a seemingly paradoxical response under anthropogenic climate change: Despite a decrease in export flux, the BCP intensifies due to a longer reemergence time of biogenically-stored carbon back to the surface and thereby provides a negative feedback to increasing atmospheric CO₂. …”

Table_1_Industrial fishing and its impacts on food security: a systematic review.XLSX by Samantha D. Farquhar (19431634)

“…Overall, four principal themes related to the perceived positive and negative and direct and indirect impacts of industrial fishing on food security were identified: (1) Industrial fishing activities provide jobs to local populations of which earnings are used to purchase other food items; (2) Industrial fishing activities provide fisheries products to local markets which are used as a common food source; (3) Industrial fishing activities damage the environment, leading to a decrease in the availability of catch for food or livelihood; (4) Industrial fishing activities outcompete local users and export catch to distant markets, thereby decreasing available food to local communities. …”
