Earth & Space News: Anaerobic Activity Is a Big Contributor in Marine “Dead Zones”
„Certain parts of Earth’s oceans are so oxygen depleted that they can hardly sustain life. Climate models predict that these “dead zones” will expand as global warming progresses, affecting ecosystems, fisheries, and the climate itself. Now[nbsp]Lengger et al.[nbsp]provide new evidence that such predictions do not adequately account for the activity of anaerobic microbes that consume inorganic carbon within dead zones.“
