Impact ID Scientific Name Impact Type Study Type Study Location Impact Description Geographic Location Reference
7203 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Anecdotal N/A In 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. 42155
10267 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Anecdotal N/A Water quality impacts have not been realized in the Great Lakes because of the small and uncertain nature of the U. prolifera population 703
10268 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Anecdotal N/A Decay of U. prolifera blooms release abundant carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus Yellow Sea 45930
10269 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Experimental Field Decomposing U. prolifera blooms promote heterotrophic dominated ecosystems that are limited in both plant and animal diversity at all trophic levels Jamaica Bay, NY 46405
10270 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Anecdotal N/A Decomposing U. prolifera blooms promote heterotrophic dominated ecosystems that are limited in both plant and animal diversity at all trophic levels 46407
10271 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Anecdotal N/A Decomposing U. prolifera blooms promote heterotrophic dominated ecosystems that are limited in both plant and animal diversity at all trophic levels 46408
10272 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Observational Field U. prolifera blooms can cause hypoxia Hog Island Bay, Virginia 46409
10273 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Observational Field In China, massive blooms 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 China 42155
10274 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Observational Field Blooms convert atmospheric CO2 to biomass and sink, contributing to a rapid release of DOC to the benthos, this promoted rapid bacterial growth, hypoxia and acidification (Chen et al. 2020), semi-labile DOC compounds persisted for 6 months and refractory DOC for 10 months driving successional changes to the benthos. Yellow Sea 45940
10275 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Experimental Field Field, laboratory and mesocosm experiments in the Yellow Sea confirmed that U. prolifera blooms significantly affected carbon cycling Yellow Sea 45227
10276 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Observational Field Field, laboratory and mesocosm experiments in the Yellow Sea confirmed that U. prolifera blooms significantly affected carbon cycling Yellow Sea 45980
10277 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Anecdotal N/A In coastal water of China, release of CO2 from U. prolifera resulted in conversion of the system from a CO2 sink to a source China 45949
10278 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Observational Laboratory Throughout the bloom-decay cycle, U. prolifera influence nitrogen chemistry of the water, changing the nutrient composition and serving as a nitrogen-pump Yellow Sea 45179
10279 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Observational Field High concentrations of biogenic sulphur compounds were associated with U. prolifera blooms in the Yellow Sea Yellow Sea 45993
10280 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Observational Field U. prolifera blooms may also impact air quality; regions of the Yellow Sea experiencing U. prolifera blooms had sea-air dimethylsulfide fluxes 5 times higher than non-bloom regions. Yellow Sea 45964
10281 Ulva (Enteromorpha) prolifera Environmental Water Quality Anecdotal N/A pH increased to 8.6 at the center of an U. prolifera patch, however as the bloom decomposes release of CO2 results in coastal acidification. Yellow Sea 45254
