Long-lived and short-lived halocarbons have long been known for their adverse effects on atmospheric chemistry, especially ozone depletion that may be directly or indirectly influenced by global climate change. Marine organisms including phytoplankton contribute shorter-lived halocarbon compounds to the atmosphere. Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface making the marine phytoplankton a significant presence. Changes in the environment will inevitably affect this widely distributed…

The impacts of ocean acidification on marine trace gases and the implications for atmospheric chemistry and climate
TLDR
Future ocean observations of trace gases should be routinely accompanied by measurements of two components of the carbonate system to improve the understanding of how in situ carbonate chemistry influences trace gas production, which will lead to improvements in current process model capabilities and more reliable predictions of future global marine trace gas fluxes.
Will climate change influence production and environmental pathways of halogenated natural products?
TLDR
Review production, sources, distribution and transport pathways of nHCs and hHNPs through water and air, pointing out areas of commonality and argue that climate change may alter these factors for hHWNPs.
Effect of irradiance on the emission of short-lived halocarbons from three common tropical marine microalgae
Marine algae have been reported as important sources of biogenic volatile halocarbons that are emitted into the atmosphere. These compounds are linked to destruction of the ozone layer, thus…
The possible roles of algae in restricting the increase in atmospheric CO2 and global temperature
TLDR
It is clear that algae are important, via the biological pump, in decreasing the steady state atmospheric and ocean surface CO2, and thus decreasing radiative forcing, a reduction enhanced by algal increases in albedo.
Emission of short-lived halocarbons by three common tropical marine microalgae during batch culture
TLDR
Overall, the emissions of short-lived halocarbons were both species- and growth phase-dependent, highlighting the importance of considering cell physiological conditions when determining gas emission rates.
Natural and anthropogenic sources of bromoform and dibromomethane in the oceanographic and biogeochemical regime of the subtropical North East Atlantic.
TLDR
A cruise between the three Macaroenesian Archipelagos of Cape Verde, the canaries and Madeira revealed that anthropogenic sources increased oceanic CHBr3 emissions significantly close to some islands, especially at the Canaries, while heterotrophic processes in the ocean increased the flux of CH2Br2 from the sea to the atmosphere in the CapeVerde region.

Climatic Changes Impact on Water Availability
Climate changes refer to long term changes in the global climate that is interconnected system of universe. This system includes sun, earth, oceans, wind, rain, snow, forests, deserts, savannas and…
Heat stress decreases the diversity, abundance and functional potential of coral gas emissions
TLDR
It is suggested that future heat stress events predicted for coral reefs will reduce the diversity, quantity and functional potential of BVOCs emitted by reef-building corals, potentially further compromising the healthy functioning of these ecosystems.

Global phytoplankton decline over the past century
TLDR
It is concluded that global phytoplankton concentration has declined over the past century; this decline will need to be considered in future studies of marine ecosystems, geochemical cycling, ocean circulation and fisheries.
