Impact ID7203
Impact TypeEnvironmental Water Quality
Study TypeAnecdotal
Study LocationN/A
Impact DescriptionIn China, massive blooms (Ulva prolifera) covered large extents of the sea bottom (13,000-30,000 km2) and decoupled biogeochemical cycles between the sediments and the water column. These chemical changes exposed native flora and fauna to oxygen deficiency and anoxia.
