Study Notes
Deep-Sea Ecosystems
- The primary focus of the video is the importance of deep-sea ecosystems and the impact of human activities on them.
- Loss of deep-sea biodiversity can have a significant consequence: disruptions to the global food chain, decreased fisheries, and even changes to the Earth's climate.
- The factor that contributes most significantly to the vulnerability of deep-sea ecosystems is the difficulty of these ecosystems to recover from disturbances due to slow growth rates, limited species mobility, and lack of connectivity between habitats.
