Global Seaweed Biogeography Under a Changing Climate: The Prospected Effects of Temperature

摘要: Temperature is one of the most important factors controlling biogeography seaweeds. To identify worldwide prospective distributional shifts major biogeographical regions under a global change scenario, we applied macroecological modeling approach. We compared borders between present and end century sea surface temperatures (SST) taken from climate model simulations drew conclusions for changes. All will extend towards poles. As consequence, tropical region widen considerably. However, there be almost no in northern extent Antarctic region. According to data, annual SST gradient along extensive coastlines creating broad transitional regions, some which contain high seaweed genus diversity. structure assemblages these probably reorganized.
