An insight into the global patterns of marine heatwaves from the surface to depths of 2,000 m reveals that subsurface events are more intense and long-lasting than surface ones. Biodiversity exposure to the effects of marine heatwaves is higher at depths of 50–250 m, suggesting that subsurface biodiversity could be at considerable risk.

Animal Habitats – Terrestrial, Freshwater & Marine, Pictures & Facts

| Wildlife

Animal habitats can be divided into three main types: terrestrial (land) habitats and two aquatic habitats: freshwater, and marine (saltwater).

Examples of terrestrial animal habitats include forests, grasslands and deserts; examples of freshwater animal habitats include lakes, rivers and marshes; examples of marine animal habitats include coral reefs, the open ocean and the intertidal zone.

On this page we explore the different types of animal habitats and provide examples of species that live in each.

The authors establish machine learning models to identify multifactor tipping points of global marine phytoplankton. They show that temperature and carbon dioxide dominate risks, and project crossing tipping points in tropical area production (50%) and resistance (41%) by 2100 under high emissions.
