Several factors, such as ocean acidification, increasing wind strength and changes in ocean circulation in the Southern Ocean, may affect the base of Antarctic food webs
2016 Key Finding2016 Dissolved carbon dioxide acidifies the ocean and reduces the availability of carbonate ions that shell-making organisms require for calcification, reducing the ability of these organisms to form shells. This may affect their reproductive capabilities and recruitment. Changes in the...
Overview of resilience of inland water
2016 Report Content2016 Inland water Resilience Murray Darling Since 2011, environmental flows (managed freshwater flows in natural water systems, designed to maintain aquatic ecosystems) have contributed to the...
Resilience of inland water environments 2016
2016 At a glanceAt a glanceA challenge in assessing resilience of inland water environments is recognising resilience when it occurs, especially because Australian ecosystems have developed to be both resistant and resilient. We can contribute to resilience by reducing extreme and detrimental ecosystem...

Risks to the coastal environment 2016
2016 At a glanceAt a glanceDespite concerted efforts to manage pressures on the coast, there remains residual risk that impacts will still occur. Here we categorise each of the pressures identified in this report in terms of their likelihood to cause impact and the severity of that impact, once current...
