Have we been underestimating the effects of ocean acidification in zooplankton?
Understanding how copepods may respond to ocean acidification (OA) is critical for risk assessments of ocean ecology and biogeochemistry. The perception that copepods are... -
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... -
Effects of ultraviolet radiation and CO2 increase on winter phytoplankton ass...
Increases in ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and CO2 affect phytoplankton growth and mortality in a variety of different ways. However, in situ responses of natural phytoplankton... -
Euechinoidea and Cidaroidea respond differently to ocean acidification
The impact of the chemical changes in the ocean waters due to the increasing atmospheric CO2 depends on the ability of an organism to control extracellular pH. Among sea... -
Effects of hypercapnia on aspects of feeding, nutrition, and growth in the ed...
Land-based aquaculture facilities experience occasional hypercapnic conditions due to the accumulation of the metabolic waste product carbon dioxide. Pre-gonadal Lytechinus... -
Bioturbation determines the response of benthic ammonia-oxidizing microorgani...
Ocean acidification (OA), caused by the dissolution of increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater, is projected to cause significant changes to... -
Effects of high temperature and CO2 on intracellular DMSP in the cold-water c...
Significant warming and acidification of the oceans is projected to occur by the end of the century. CO2 vents, areas of upwelling and downwelling, and potential leaks from... -
Ocean acidification affects growth but not nutritional quality of the seaweed...
Understanding the ecological implications of global climate change requires investigations of not only the direct effects of environmental change on species performance but also... -
Temperature modulates coccolithophorid sensitivity of growth, photosynthesis ...
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations are expected to impact pelagic ecosystem functioning in the near future by driving ocean warming and acidification. While numerous... -
The influence of seawater pH on U/ Ca ratios in the scleractinian cold-water ...
The increasing pCO2 in seawater is a serious threat for marine calcifiers and alters the biogeochemistry of the ocean. Therefore, the reconstruction of past-seawater properties... -
Ocean acidification outweighs nutrient effects in structuring seagrass epiphy...
Developing a framework for assessing interactions between multiple anthropogenic stressors remains an important goal in environmental research. In coastal ecosystems, the... -
Effects of light and elevated pCO2 on the growth and photochemical efficiency...
The effects of light and elevated pCO2 on the growth and photochemical efficiency of the critically endangered staghorn coral, Acropora cervicornis, were examined... -
Ocean acidification alleviates low-temperature effects on growth and photosyn...
This study aimed to examine interactive effects between ocean acidification and temperature on the photosynthetic and growth performance of Neosiphonia harveyi. N. harveyi was... -
Effect of increased pCO2 level on early shell development in great scallop (P...
As a result of high anthropogenic CO2 emissions, the concentration of CO2 in the oceans has increased, causing a decrease in pH, known as ocean acidification (OA). Numerous... -
Influence of sediment acidification and water flow on sediment acceptance and...
Although ocean acidification is expected to reduce carbonate saturation and yield negative impacts on open-ocean calcifying organisms in the near future, acidification in... -
Ocean Acidification Affects Redox-Balance and Ion-Homeostasis in the Life-Cyc...
Ocean Acidification (OA) has been shown to affect photosynthesis and calcification in the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi, a cosmopolitan calcifier that significantly... -
Seawater acidification by CO2 in a coastal lagoon environment: Effects on lif...
The carbonate chemistry of seawater from the Ria Formosa lagoon was experimentally manipulated, by diffusing pure CO2, to attain two reduced pH levels, by -0.3 and -0.6 pH... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, clearance rates, respiration rates, condition i...
The decline in ocean water pH and changes in carbonate saturation states through anthropogenically mediated increases in atmospheric CO2 levels may pose a hazard to marine... -
Does Encapsulation Protect Embryos from the Effects of Ocean Acidification? T...
Early life history stages of marine organisms are generally thought to be more sensitive to environmental stress than adults. Although most marine invertebrates are broadcast... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and larval development and settlement of the sea...
We studied the effects of temperature and pH on larval development, settlement and juvenile survival of a Mediterranean population of the sea urchin Arbacia lixula. Three...
