Morphological plasticity of the coral skeleton under CO2-driven seawater acid...
Ocean acidification causes corals to calcify at reduced rates, but current understanding of the underlying processes is limited. Here, we conduct a mechanistic study into how... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth and carbon fixation of Antarctic cryp...
We conducted a multiple-stressor experiment to evaluate the response of the still poorly studied key Antarctic cryptophyte species Geminigera cryophila (CCMP 2564, isolated from... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and population-specific responses in physiologic...
Although coccolithophore physiological responses to CO2-induced changes in seawater carbonate chemistry have been widely studied in the past, there is limited knowledge on the... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth rates, carbon utilization and the int...
Ocean acidification (OA) appears to have diverse impacts on calcareous coccolithophores, but the cellular processes underlying these responses are not well understood. Here we... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth,cellular composition and photophysiol...
Compared to the rest of the globe, the Arctic Ocean is affected disproportionately by climate change. Despite these fast environmental changes, we currently know little about... -
Results of a 24-hour laboratory experiment sampling cell concentrations, part...
Cell division of the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi and other phytoplankton typically becomes entrained to diel light/dark cycles under laboratory conditions, with division... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth rate, particulate organic (POC) and i...
Continuous accumulation of fossil CO2 in the atmosphere and increasingly dissolved CO2 in seawater leads to ocean acidification (OA), which is known to affect phytoplankton... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth, production rates, and cellular compo...
Arctic phytoplankton and their response to future conditions shape one of the most rapidly changing ecosystems on the planet. We tested how much the phenotypic responses of... -
Physiological responses of coastal and oceanic diatoms to diurnal fluctuation...
Diel and seasonal fluctuations in seawater carbonate chemistry are common in coastal waters, while in the open-ocean carbonate chemistry is much less variable. In both of these... -
Reduced resilience of a globally distributed coccolithophore to ocean acidifi...
Ocean acidification (OA), induced by rapid anthropogenic CO2 rise and its dissolution in seawater, is known to have consequences for marine organisms. However, knowledge on the... -
Nitrate limitation and ocean acidification interact with UV-B to reduce photo...
It has been proposed that ocean acidification (OA) will interact with other environmental factors to influence the overall impact of global change on biological systems.... -
Ocean acidification decreases the light-use efficiency in an Antarctic diatom...
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Gattuso et al, 2015) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of... -
Solar UV irradiances modulate effects of ocean acidification on the Coccolith...
Emiliania huxleyi, the most abundant coccolithophorid in the oceans, is naturally exposed to solar UV radiation (UVR, 280-400 nm) in addition to photosynthetically active... -
Comparative responses of two dominant Antarctic phytoplankton taxa to interac...
We investigated the responses of the ecologically dominant Antarctic phytoplankton species Phaeocystis antarctica (a prymnesiophyte) and Fragilariopsis cylindrus (a diatom) to a... -
Strong shift from HCO3- to CO2 uptake in Emiliania huxleyi with acidification...
Effects of ocean acidification on Emiliania huxleyi strain RCC 1216 (calcifying, diploid life-cycle stage) and RCC 1217 (non-calcifying, haploid life-cycle stage) were... -
Effects of increasing seawater carbon dioxide concentrations on chain formati...
Diatoms can occur as single cells or as chain-forming aggregates. These two strategies affect buoyancy, predator evasion, light absorption and nutrient uptake. Adjacent cells in... -
Impact of elevated pCO2 on paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin content and co...
Ocean acidification is considered a major threat to marine ecosystems and may particularly affect primary producers. Here we investigated the impact of elevated pCO2 on... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth, calcification of Thoracosphaera heim...
Ocean acidification is considered a major threat to marine ecosystems and may particularly affect calcifying organisms such as corals, foraminifera and coccolithophores. Here we... -
Interactive effects of ocean acidification and nitrogen limitation on the dia...
Climate change is expected to bring about alterations in the marine physical and chemical environment that will induce changes in the concentration of dissolved CO2 and in... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and composition of fouling communities from the ...
This laboratory study assessed how cooling and acidification might affect fouling communities along the South African west coast. Communities were experimentally exposed to two...
