die off

Mass coral die-off is underway and, unless global warming is reversed, large reef systems as we know them will disappear.

He’s talking about the failure to recognize the consequences of climate change manifesting in the surrounding wetlands’ die-off.

The team also showed that decayed elephant carcasses were more spread out across the landscape than fresh carcasses, indicating that the die-off in 2020 was different from typical elephant mortality patterns.

The dewatering of the river and the mass fish die-off, which were first reported by the news website SJV Water, have sparked an outpouring of concern in the community.
