By Laura Revell, Dan Smale and Richard McKenzie* of At this time of year, as the sun rises over Antarctica, a "hole" opens up in Earth's ozone layer. The ozone layer is a vital planetary boundary that protects all life on Earth from the sun's damaging ultraviolet radiation. But as our research shows, a series of unusual events in recent years caused ozone holes that lasted longer.

1 INTRODUCTION Anthropogenic climate change is driving reconfigurations of entire ecosystems, as species shift their distributions to track favourable thermal environments (Lenoir et al., 2020). This pattern is particularly strong for marine ectotherms, which generally occupy most of their thermal niche so that their distributions are strongly constrained by temperature (Sunday et al., 2012).

AbstractSeagrasses are marine flowering plants that form extensive meadows from the inter-tidal zone up to ~50 m depth. As biological and ecological Essential Biodiversity Variables, seagrass cover and composition provide a wide range of ecosystem services. Inter-tidal seagrass meadows provide services to many ecosystems, so monitoring their occurrence, extent, condition and diversity can be used to indicate the biodiversity and health of local ecosystems.

Cyberattacks are increasing in frequency and severity. This means maintaining the security of IT systems is more critical now than ever – and doing so effectively requires innovative solutions. As a result, many companies are turning to AI – which is set to revolutionise patch management. Effective patch management is a time and resource-intensive task, and as a result, many businesses struggle to keep pace with the sheer quantity of patches released by software suppliers.

AbstractThe coastal ocean represents an important global carbon sink and is a focus for interventions to mitigate climate change and meet the Paris Agreement targets while supporting biodiversity and other ecosystem functions. However, the fate of the flux of carbon exported from seaweed forests—the world’s largest coastal vegetated ecosystem—is a key unknown in marine carbon budgets.

By DAN SMALESMALL mistakes can be costly — and they can be avoided. Let’s look at shadow IT: the chances are your employees are using it without even realising. Individuals or departments sometimes download or use IT-related hardware or software not sanctioned by the company. They may use a personal Dropbox account to share files, instead of going via the officially approved servers or processes. They may also bring their own keyboards, mice, headsets, and USBs to the office network.
