Funded Activity Summary

Impact of global stressors on the metabolic balance of the coastal Indian Ocean. The pelagic community metabolic balance characterises the role of ocean biota as a sink or source of carbon dioxide. No estimates of net community metabolism are available for the Indian Ocean, which is a major gap in our knowledge. Key environmental stressors, UVB radiation and warming (particularly heat wave events) have the potential to impact on pelagic community metabolism, especially along the Western Australian coast. This project addresses the lack of estimates of plankton metabolic balance in the coastal Indian Ocean and assess how multiple concurrent stressors can affect pelagic metabolism in the coastal Indian Ocean in a context of global change.
