In the latter simulation, large carbon losses are seen in central Canada where substantial permafrost stocks exist that are vulnerable to warming.
They are vulnerable to warming water, ocean acidification due to CO2 absorption, overfishing, pollution from prawn farms and damage to reefs.
These carbon stocks are vulnerable to warming temperatures and increased permafrost thaw and the breakdown and release of soil C in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).
Propane distribution partnerships, which as a group have very high yields, are vulnerable to warm winter weather.
Ectotherms constitute the vast majority of terrestrial biodiversity and are especially likely to be vulnerable to climate warming because their basic physiological functions such as locomotion, growth, and reproduction are strongly influenced by environmental temperature.
But if the results hold up, the study will serve as a wake-up call that larger ice shelves on mainland Antarctica may also be vulnerable to ocean warming, says oceanographer Stan Jacobs of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York.
Although all 472 cases in the continental United States have come from travelers, Florida, the Gulf Coast and California also may be vulnerable to local transmission once the weather warms.
These, in particular, could be vulnerable to a rise in sea-levels due to global warming.
Aquatic ectotherms with poor respiratory control are likely to be thermal specialists, having narrow temperature ranges over which they can balance risks of asphyxiation and oxygen poisoning, and thermal specialists are suggested to be especially vulnerable to warming [ 4].
Embryos may be most vulnerable to warming while larvae that survive early mortality bottlenecks may be more affected by acidification [13], [15], [18], [34], [47].
