Future challenges in cephalopod research* (2014, background): “In the last few decades, marine hypoxia has become a major ecological concern (Diaz & Rosenberg, 2008).”
Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on A Social-Ecological Analysis of Diversified Farming Systems: Benefits, Costs, Obstacles, and Enabling Policy Frameworks Ecosystem Services in Biologically Diversified versus Conventional Farming Systems: Benefits, Externalities, and Trade-Offs (2012, background): “…phosphorus to air and water cause severe environmental and human health problems, including eutrophication of fresh and marine waters, the emission of greenhouse gasses, and the depletion of stratospheric ozone (Tilman et al. 2002, Townsend et al. 2003, Diaz and Rosenberg 2008, Park et al. 2012).”
Guest Editorial, part of a Special Feature on A Social-Ecological Analysis of Diversified Farming Systems: Benefits, Costs, Obstacles, and Enabling Policy Frameworks Diversified Farming Systems: An Agroecological, Systems-based Alternative to Modern Industrial Agriculture (2012, background): “Key Words: agroecology; ecological diversification; food justice; food sovereignty; industrialized agriculture”
Patterns, Causes, and Consequences of Anthropocene Defaunation (2016, background): “For instance, oxygendepleted dead zones, often caused by runoff of excess fertilizers, have increased exponentially since the 1960s and have been reported in more than 400 systems (Diaz & Rosenberg 2008).”
The Global Food‐Energy‐Water Nexus (2018, background): “Key examples of waterquality impacts downstream from agricultural production are hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico and a growing number of coastal “dead zones” worldwide (Diaz & Rosenberg, 2008).”
The Sustainability Conundrum of Fishmeal Substitution by Plant Ingredients in Shrimp Feeds (2019, background): “Additionally, the increasing use of phosphorus, which is a limiting nutrient for food production, raises concerns [23,30,31], while the combination with nitrogen in fertilizers causes eutrophication and dead zones in coastal marine ecosystems [8,31,32].”
Impact of declining intermediate-water oxygen on deepwater fishes in the California Current (2011, background): “Mean oxygen concentrations at 200 to 300 m are ~2.0 ml l–1, an approximate upper limit for hypoxia (Diaz & Rosenberg 2008), and decline to a minimum of 0.5 ml O2 l–1, a level of severe hypoxia, at about 500 m (see Fig.”
Reviews and syntheses: to the bottom of carbon processing at the seafloor (2017, background): “Moreover, in modern systems with anoxic bottom waters benthic animals are absent (Rhoads and Morse, 1971; Diaz and Rosenberg, 1995, 2008; Levin, 2003; Levin et al., 2009).”
