CO2-driven ocean acidification alters and weakens integrity of the calcareous...
As a consequence of anthropogenic CO2-driven ocean acidification (OA), coastal waters are becoming increasingly challenging for calcifiers due to reductions in saturation states... -
Major cellular and physiological impacts of ocean acidification on a reef bui...
As atmospheric levels of CO2 increase, reef-building corals are under greater stress from both increased sea surface temperatures and declining sea water pH. To date, most... -
Ocean acidification induces budding in larval sea urchins
Ocean acidification (OA), the reduction of ocean pH due to hydration of atmospheric CO2, is known to affect growth and survival of marine invertebrate larvae. Survival and... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, calcification and respiration of Mediterranean ...
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Lavigne and Gattuso, 2011) was used to compute a complete and consistent... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and microbioerosion of coral skeletons
Biological mediation of carbonate dissolution represents a fundamental component of the destructive forces acting on coral reef ecosystems. Whereas ocean acidification can... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, calcification and survival of coral recruits in...
Manipulative studies have demonstrated that ocean acidification (OA) is a threat to coral reefs, yet no experiments have employed diurnal variations in pCO2 that are... -
Biological impacts of enhanced alkalinity in Carcinus maenas
Further steps are needed to establish feasible alleviation strategies that are able to reduce the impacts of ocean acidification, whilst ensuring minimal biological side-effects... -
Effects of feeding and light intensity on the response of the coral Porites r...
Recently, it has been suggested that there are conditions under which some coral species appear to be resistant to the effects of ocean acidification. To test if such resistance... -
Experiment: Food availability outweighs ocean acidification effects in juveni...
Ocean acidification is expected to decrease calcification rates of bivalves. Nevertheless in many coastal areas high pCO2 variability is encountered already today. Kiel Fjord... -
Light availability determines susceptibility of reef building corals to ocean...
Elevated seawater pCO2, and in turn ocean acidification (OA), is now widely acknowledged to reduce calcification and growth of reef building corals. As with other environmental... -
Tolerance of juvenile Mytilus galloprovincialis to experimental seawater acid...
Coastal ocean acidification is expected to interfere with the physiology of marine bivalves. In this work, the effects of acidification on the physiology of juvenile mussels... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification in the tropical urchin Echinom...
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (pCO2) has risen from approximately 280 to 400 ppm since the Industrial Revolution, due mainly to the combustion of fossil fuels, deforestation, and... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and buffer capacity of the coelomic fluid in ech...
The increase in atmospheric CO2 due to anthropogenic activity results in an acidification of the surface waters of the oceans. The impact of these chemical changes depends on... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and hatching rate, malformation rate, metamorpho...
The hatching process of the Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai was prolonged at a pH of 7.6 and pH 7.3, and the embryonic developmental success was reduced. The hatching... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth, reproduction of calcifying and non-c...
Seaweeds are key species of the Baltic Sea benthic ecosystems. They are the substratum of numerous fouling epibionts like bryozoans and tubeworms. Several of these epibionts... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and skeletal development, size, weight, total li...
Ocean acidification (OA) threatens the existence of coral reefs by slowing the rate of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) production of framework-building corals thus reducing the amount... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcium carbonate of Padina spp., photosynth...
Predicting the impacts of ocean acidification on coastal ecosystems requires an understanding of the effects on macroalgae and their grazers, as these underpin the ecology of... -
Differential acid-base regulation in various gills of the green crab Carcinus...
Euryhaline decapod crustaceans possess an efficient regulation apparatus located in the gill epithelia, providing a high adaptation potential to varying environmental abiotic... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and sperm swimming speed of the polychaete Galeo...
The rapidity of ocean acidification intensifies selection pressure for resilient phenotypes, particularly during sensitive early life stages. The scope for selection is greater... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and sperm swimming speed, fertilization success ...
Background: Climate change will lead to intense selection on many organisms, particularly during susceptible early life stages. To date, most studies on the likely biotic...
