We provide the first, multi-model projections of changes in the distribution and productivity of 18 key fish stocks across seven European regional seas spanning the Mediterranean to the Arctic, using 11 state-of-the-art bio-ecological models. Our projections indicate species- and region-specific changes in abundance and distributions of these stocks by the mid- to late 21st century. The varied responses are caused by differences in species' physiology, regional food web dynamics, and physical habitat characteristics. Important drivers include not only warming of Europe's seas (from 1°C to 3°C in RCP 4.5, and 2°C to 4°C in RCP 8.5 by 2100) and changes in primary productivity but also oxygen-limited fish growth, changes in pH, and benthic dissolved organic carbon. Warming and altered levels of secondary production are projected to lead to declines in some stocks (Norwegian and Barents Sea herring) and increases in others (Bay of Biscay anchovy). While some temperate and cold-water stocks are projected to decline markedly in some regions (e.g., North Sea, Western Mediterranean), the immigration of species from the south and/or increase in productivity of warm-water species may offer new opportunities for fisheries. Species-level changes will likely have ecosystem-level consequences that have yet to be fully assessed, and responses in some sub-areas may be more pronounced due to local processes not captured in projections. Projections are consistent despite differences in model structures, and the results of our multi-model analysis align with other modelling exercises while delving into details often overlooked at the species or spatial level.

Rsoil consists of two component CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes: autotrophic respiration from the metabolic activity of roots (Ra<sub>-root</sub>) and heterotrophic respiration (Rh) derived from the metabolic activity of mycorrhizal fungi and microbial decomposition of detritus, soil organic matter, and rhizodeposits. Increased nitrogen (N) availability often reduces Rsoil in forest ecosystems, but it remains unclear which contributing fluxes govern Rsoil responses and if suppression of Rsoil results from increased N availability itself or from the tendency of added N to acidify soil. Here, we address these uncertainties in a long-term, large-scale factorial N × pH experiment in six temperate forest stands in central New York, USA. We anticipated that increasing soil N availability would decrease plant belowground C allocation and related root-associated respiration and that soil acidification would suppress microbial decomposition, thereby reducing Rh. We found that both acidifying and deacidifying N additions suppressed annual Rsoil by 19% and 13%, respectively (−1.8 Mg C ha<sup>−1</sup> year<sup>−1</sup> overall), but acidification (from pH 4.67 to 4.22) alone did not detectably affect this flux. Annual Rsoil decreased steeply (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.66, <i>p</i> < 0.001) as soil N availability increased. Nitrogen additions generally suppressed Rh, especially in the forest floor (−34%), whereas the effects of acidification alone varied by soil depth, with substantial suppression in the forest floor (−33%) partially offset by stimulation at depth. A novel partitioning of Rsoil component responses suggests that N additions suppressed root-associated respiration by ~1.1 Mg C ha<sup>−1</sup> year<sup>−1</sup> (62% of the Rsoil suppression), while acidification alone had no effect. Our findings demonstrate that soil N availability, not soil pH, is the predominant biogeochemical control over Rsoil in these temperate forests, with larger responses of plant-driven C fluxes than microbial-driven C fluxes.</p>","PeriodicalId":175,"journal":{"name":"Global Change Biology","volume":"31 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gcb.70140","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the AM soils, aggregated bacterial growth traits were predictive of soil respiration, but this relationship was not observed in ECM soils, perhaps due to substantial MBC mortality. These findings highlight the distinct responses of bacterial communities in AM and ECM rhizosphere soils to exudate addition.

Whilst considerable efforts have been made to understand the effects of warming trends in average temperatures on Arctic biota, far fewer studies have focused on trends in extreme climate events and their biotic effects, which have been suggested to be particularly impactful during the Arctic winter months. Here, we present an analysis of trends in two ecologically relevant winter extreme events—extreme winter warming and rain-on-snow—followed by a meta-analysis on the evidence base for their effects on Arctic biota. We show a strong increase in extreme winter warming across the entire Arctic and high variability in rain-on-snow trends, with some regions recently experiencing rain-on-snow for the first time whilst others seeing a decrease in these events. Ultimately, both extreme events show significant changes in their characteristics and patterns of emergence. Our meta-analysis, encompassing 178 effect sizes across 17 studies and 49 species, demonstrates that extreme winter warming and rain-on-snow induce negative impacts on Arctic biota, with certain taxonomic groups—notably angiosperms and chordates (mostly vertebrates)—exhibiting higher sensitivity than others.

In ecosystems exposed to frequent drought, N can accumulate in soils as they dry, stimulating the emission of both nitric oxide (NO; an air pollutant at high concentrations) and nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O; a powerful greenhouse gas) when the dry soils wet up. Because changes in both N availability and soil moisture can alter the capacity of nitrifying organisms such as ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA) to process N and emit N gases, predicting whether shifts in precipitation may alter NO and N<sub>2</sub>O emissions requires understanding how both AOA and AOB may respond. Thus, we ask: How does altering summer and winter precipitation affect nitrifier-derived N trace gas emissions in a dryland ecosystem? To answer this question, we manipulated summer and winter precipitation and measured AOA- and AOB-derived N trace gas emissions, AOA and AOB abundance, and soil N concentrations. We found that excluding summer precipitation increased AOB-derived NO emissions, consistent with the increase in soil N availability, and that increasing summer precipitation amount promoted AOB activity. Excluding precipitation in the winter (the most extreme water limitation we imposed) did not alter nitrifier-derived NO emissions despite N accumulating in soils. Instead, nitrate that accumulated under drought correlated with high N<sub>2</sub>O emission via denitrification upon wetting dry soils.

As communities reassemble and shifts in abundance and distribution cascade throughout ecosystems, cumulative impacts on species of conservation concern need to be explicitly examined. A structured qualitative analysis of alternative responses to climate change across the food web can play a valuable role in the design and interpretation of quantitative models. A particular advantage of qualitative network analysis is the ease with which a wide range of scenarios representing structural and quantitative uncertainties can be explored. We tested 36 plausible representations of connections among salmon and key functional groups within the marine food web using qualitative network models. The scenarios differed in how species pairs were connected (positive, negative, or no interaction) and which species responded directly to climate change. Our analysis showed that certain configurations produced consistently negative outcomes for salmon, regardless of the specific values for most of the links. Salmon outcomes shifted from 30% to 84% negative when consumption rates by multiple competitor and predator groups increased following a press perturbation from climate. This scenario aligns with some recent observations during a marine heatwave. Feedbacks between salmon and mammalian predators were particularly important, as were indirect effects connecting spring- and fall-run salmon.

Our goal was to compare their relative signature or lasting impacts after these factors had taken effect and to determine whether climate warming and biological invasions mediate the current state of community diversities. Drawing on a set of interconnected hypotheses, we suggest that biological invasions could be an important indirect effect of climate warming. This aspect must be considered to fully grasp the overall effects of climate change, beyond just its direct thermal impacts. Our results support our hypothesis that climate warming negatively impacts size and trophic diversities. However, these effects are mostly mediated by the warming-induced increase in exotic species richness, which, in turn, promotes total species richness.

In the southern California Current Ecosystem (CCE), a major eastern boundary current upwelling system, significant long-term shifts in larval fish phenology have been previously observed. To assess the stability of these estimates and extend them to the northern CCE, we evaluated multidecadal trends in ichthyoplankton abundance for 57 species from the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) and 25 species from the Newport Hydrographic Line (NH Line). We show that on average, larval fish phenology in the southern CCE has continued to advance with an estimated rate of −0.18 ± 0.05 day year<sup>−1</sup> from 1951 to 2022, while phenology in the northern CCE has advanced at a rate of −0.48 ± 0.26 day year<sup>−1</sup> from 1996 to 2023. Thirty-nine percent of species showed significant advancing phenology, 12% exhibited delayed phenology, and 49% showed no long-term linear change. A comparison analysis showed that species in these groups had similar rates of change between the two locations for the 1997–2017 period. Phenological shifts in the southern CCE tracked changes in the phenology of upper ocean temperature, zooplankton, and upwelling. These variables poorly explained shifts in the northern CCE, where short-term effects of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and the 2014–2016 marine heatwave on ichthyoplankton phenology were observed for some species.
