Projected 21st century compression of mesopelagic habitat in the California current
Abstract Although the mesopelagic zone occupies a substantial volume of the world’s oceans, our results suggest that the livable portion may compress vertically by ~ 40 m or ~ 39% by the end of the century. Using an ensemble of three downscaled climate projections from a high emissions scenario, we...
