Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anthropogenic activities are responsible for climate change and a major source of pollution in the oceans. The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations jas driven oceanic warming and acidification, which may over time change contaminants’ bioaccessibility, resulting in new challenges and threats to marine ecosystems. This Special Issue invites authors to contribute original research articles reporting interactive effects, synergetic and/or antagonists, of climate change and contaminants in marine ecosystems. This issue is an excellent opportunity to review this line of research and to propose and develop new approaches.
