Dear OCB Colleagues,
A new review of climate change impacts on marine ecosystems was just released characterizing trends in ocean climate and discussing mechanisms by which climate and ocean acidification alter marine biological structure and function at the level of individual organisms, populations, communities and ecosystems.

Three case studies are presented for polar ice-dependent systems, tropical coral reefs, and the California Current upwelling system.

The review is publicly available online as a "Reviews in Advance" from:
