Full Description
This exam centers on the roles that various marine ecosystems play in global carbon cycling, notably how they sequester carbon and contribute to climatic balance. Specific focus is given to coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds.
Understanding the contribution of marine ecosystems to carbon cycling is essential in the context of climate change mitigation strategies. These ecosystems serve as critical buffers against climate impacts and support biodiversity.
The assessment will evaluate the student's capacity to explain the processes of carbon uptake and storage in marine environments, along with implications for atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations.
Students should articulate the significance of marine biodiversity in influencing carbon cycles, as well as the effects of anthropogenic activities on these vital systems.
Sample Questions
- What are the key mechanisms through which marine ecosystems sequester carbon?
- How do anthropogenic pressures impact carbon cycling in marine environments?
