根据英国南安普顿大学国家海洋中心的研究，即便是最遥远的深海生态系统也难逃气候变化的影响。此研究称，由于北大西洋海域表面动植物数量减少，在未来十年，北大西洋海底的生物将减少38%，全球海底生物将减少5%。
该国际研究团队采用先进的气候模型，量化分析了未来深海海洋生物的损失。
以上数据的依据即采用量化损失分析的气候模型，它使研究者能够在全球范围内预测海洋中食物供应的变化。根据食物供应和全球海洋生物数据库计算出的生物质量之间的关系，就能够作出精确的预测。这项成果被刊登在本周的科学杂志《全球变化生物学》上。
尽管海底群体生活在海平面以下平均4公里处，它们也能感受到急剧的变化。研究员采用反向推理，首先预测比如由于气候变暖和雨天增多而导致的全球洋流变慢，被称为“分层”的水体分离加剧，营养供给将深受影响。为深海生物提供食物供给的海面动植物数量会相应减少，从而使深海生物面临食物短缺的困境。
Even the most remote deep-sea ecosystems are affected by climate change according to a study conducted by the National Oceanography Centre at the University of Southampton， UK. According to the study， seafloor dwellers will decline by up to 38% in the North Atlantic and over 5% globally over the next century because of a reduction in the ocean’s surface plants and animals.
The international research team， using advanced climate models， is quantifying future losses in deep-sea marine life.
These results are based upon the use of climate models that quantify losses allowing researchers to predict changes in the ocean's food supply globally. By applying a relationship between food supply and the calculated biomass of the global database of marine life， accurate predictions are determined. The results are published this week in the scientific journal Global Change Biology.
Despite living on average four kilometers under the surface of the ocean， seafloor communities are expected to see radical changes. Researchers have gone backwards in the process by first predicting that nutrient supplies will suffer because of climate impacts of things like the slowing of the global ocean circulation， increased separation of water masses， known as 'stratification'， due to the warmer， rainier weather. Surface plants and animals whose remains would have become sustenance for the deep-sea life will also decline making food scarce for all deep-sea life.
