This decomposition process consumes oxygen, depleting the supply for other marine life and creating what is referred to as a "dead zone." Dead zones are hypoxic, meaning the water has very low levels of dissolved oxygen. This kills off marine life or forces it to leave the area, removing life from the area and giving it the name dead zone.
Scientists prepare to collect near-bottom water aboard the R/V Pelican to verify oxygen measurements used to determine the size of the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone. (NOAA/LUMCON/LSU) A "dead zone ...

The Atlantic Ocean is teeming with life, but for the first time researchers have discovered dead zones in these waters - areas low in both oxygen and salinity - off the coast of Africa. Fish can't ...
Ecological death is the inability of an organism to function in an ecological context, leading to death. [1] This term can be used in many fields of biology to ...
Ecohydrology (from Greek οἶκος, oikos, "house(hold)"; ὕδωρ, hydōr, "water"; and -λογία, -logia) is an interdisciplinary scientific field studying the interactions between water and ecological systems. It is considered a sub discipline of hydrology, with an ecological focus.
