By 2100 permafrost will decrease
what is the impact of surface warming
surface warming make the layer more stratified and thus the nutrients gets trapped

oxygen loss
global oxygen loss of 2% baltic and black sea has less oxygen
Oxygen loss due to - surface due to degassing and below surface due to respiration
what happens when ocean warms
increases oxygen demand and release methane hydrates
oxygen presence inversely proportional to phosphorous
