Seagrass ecosystem is one of the most productive ecosystems in coastal waters providing numerous ecological functions and supporting a large biodiversity. However, various anthropogenic stressors including climate change are impacting these vulnerable habitats. Here, we investigated the independent and combined effects of ocean warming and ocean acidification on plant-herbivore interactions in a tropical seagrass community. Direct and indirect effects of high temperature and high pCO on the physiology of the tropical seagrass Thalassia hemprichii and sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla were evaluated. Productivity of seagrass was found to increase under high pCO, while sea urchin physiology including feeding rate decreased particularly under high temperature. The present study indicated that future climate change will affect the bottom-up and top-down balance, which potentially can modify the ecosystem functions and services of tropical seagrass ecosystems.
海草生态系统是沿海水域生产力最高的生态系统之一,提供了众多生态功能,并支持着大量的生物多样性。然而,气候变化等各种人为压力源正在影响这些脆弱的栖息地。在这里,我们研究了海洋变暖与海洋酸化对热带海草群落中植物-食草动物相互作用的独立和联合影响。评估了高温和高 pCO 对热带海草 Thalassia hemprichii 和海胆 Tripneustes gratilla 生理的直接和间接影响。研究发现,在高 pCO 下,海草的生产力增加,而海胆的生理机能(包括摄食率)在高温下尤其下降。本研究表明,未来的气候变化将影响自下而上和自上而下的平衡,这可能会改变热带海草生态系统的生态系统功能和服务。
