Coral and mollusc resistance to ocean acidification adversely affected by warming
(2011-01-01)Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentrations are expectedto decrease surface ocean pH by 0.3-0.5 units by 2100 (refs,), lowering the carbonate ion concentration of surfacewaters. This rapid acidification ... -
Distribution of sea urchins living near shallow water CO(2) vents is dependent upon species acid-base and ion-regulatory abilities.
(2013-02-18)To reduce the negative effect of climate change on Biodiversity, the use of geological CO(2) sequestration has been proposed; however leakage from underwater storages may represent a risk to marine life. As extracellular ... -
Herbivore diversity improves benthic community resilience to ocean acidification
(2015-08-01)© 2015 Elsevier B.V. Ocean acidification is expected to alter a wide range of marine systems, but there is great uncertainty about the outcome because indirect effects are often crucial in ecology. Work at volcanic seeps ... -
Marine bivalve shell geochemistry and ultrastructure from modern low pH environments: Environmental effect versus experimental bias
(2012-06-08)Bivalve shells can provide excellent archives of past environmental change but have not been used to interpret ocean acidification events. We investigated carbon, oxygen and trace element records from different shell ... -
Seasonality affects macroalgal community response to increases in pCO2.
(United States, 2014)Ocean acidification is expected to alter marine systems, but there is uncertainty about its effects due to the logistical difficulties of testing its large-scale and long-term effects. Responses of biological communities ...
