New climatic targets against global warming: will the maximum 2 °C temperature rise affect estuarine benthic communities?

Abstract The Paris Agreement signed by 195 countries in 2015 sets out a global action plan to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to remain below 2 °C. Under that premise, in situ experiments were run to test the effects of 2 °C temperature increase on the benthic communities i...
