The present study investigated the effects of ocean acidification and temperature increase on Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sinistral), the dominant planktonic foraminifer in the... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, tissue-skeleton interface and calcification in ...
Insight into the response of reef corals and other major marine calcifiers to ocean acidification is limited by a lack of knowledge about how seawater pH and carbonate chemistry... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification of the crustose coralline alga...
Anthropogenic CO2 emissions have exacerbated two environmental stressors, global climate warming and ocean acidification (OA), that have serious implications for marine... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and physiological responses of three temperate c...
Coralline algae are major calcifiers of significant ecological importance in marine habitats but are among the most sensitive calcifying organisms to ocean acidification. The... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, calcification, primary production and respirati...
Coralline algae are considered among the most sensitive species to near future ocean acidification. We tested the effects of elevated pCO2 on the metabolism of the free-living... -
Experiment: Dissecting the impact of CO2 and pH on the mechanisms of photosyn...
Coccolithophores are important calcifying phytoplankton predicted to be impacted by changes in ocean carbonate chemistry caused by the absorption of anthropogenic CO2. However,... -
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... -
Experiment: Physiological responses of the calcifying rhodophyte, Corallina o...
Future atmospheric CO2 levels will most likely have complex consequences for marine organisms, particulary photosynthetic calcifying organisms. Corallina officinalis L. is an... -
The benthic foraminiferal community in a naturally CO2-rich coastal habitat o...
It is expected that the calcification of foraminifera will be negatively affected by the ongoing acidification of the oceans. Compared to the open oceans, these organisms are... -
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... -
Dolomite-rich coralline algae in reefs resist dissolution in acidified condit...
Coral reef ecosystems develop best in high-flow environments but their fragile frameworks are also vulnerable to high wave energy. Wave-resistant algal rims, predominantly made... -
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 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... -
Structural and functional vulnerability to elevated pCO2 in marine benthic co...
The effect of elevated pCO2/low pH on marine invertebrate benthic biodiversity, community structure and selected functional responses which underpin ecosystem services (such as... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and physiological response of the Mediterranean ...
The response of respiration, photosynthesis, and calcification to elevated pCO2 and temperature was investigated in isolation and in combination in the Mediterranean crustose... -
