Furthermore, in coastal areas there are other physicochemical and biological processes acting at shorter time scales that can also increase CO2 concentration - [Home2](https://www.auroramricart.com/home2/) - marine forest, human impacts & climate change Benvinguts! Bienvenidos! Welcome! I am a marine scientist studying global change in coastal ecosystems. I investigate cliamate change, environmental change and other human impacts in marine forests, foundation species of marine macrophytes, such as seagrasses and seaweeds. My general approach consists of developing manipulative field and lab experiments ## Posts - [Attribution](https://www.auroramricart.com/attribution/) - This site has been created with the help of many different people and companies.In particular, a special thanks goes to the following for content running on this site: Author: fableandfolkLicense: Author: loulevitLicense: In addition, this site was built on a powerful, Inspirations based web builder called BoldGrid.
