      Increase in Green House Gas effect relates to global warming unit. Humans will helps the temperature change in oceans.
  • decades due to the warming influence of human caused increases in greenhouse gas emissions.
  • alteration of species distributions in ways that may lead to major changes in their interactions with other species, and modifications in the flow of energy and cycling of materials within ecosystems,
    • Macey McCarty
       
      Flow of energy will change as species die down which will corrupt natural food and energy cycles.

  • wetlands, estuaries and coral reefs are particularly vulnerable to climate change, the report concludes. Such ecosystems are among the most biologically productive environments in the world,

      relates to aquifers--says wetlands, estuaries, and coral reefs will be vulnerable because of their location.
  • influence the metabolism of marine species, and alter ecological processes such as productivity and species interactions, the researchers said.

      Marine Ecosystems will be altered and the metabolism of marine species will affect productivity.
  • Rising sea levels could inundate coastal marshes, forcing coastlines further inland and in many cases, eliminating marsh habitats. (Photo by Mary Hollinger, courtesy NOAA)

      Sea levels (caused by the warming of oceans) push coastlines further inland which can destroy marsh habitats.
