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... -
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... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biometry and dissolution features of the ben...
Culturing experiments were performed with the benthic foraminifer Ammonia aomoriensis from Flensburg Fjord, western Baltic Sea. The experiments simulated a projected rise in... -
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... -
Response of Nodularia spumigena to pCO2
The filamentous and diazotrophic cyanobacterium Nodularia spumigena plays a major role in the productivity of the Baltic Sea as it forms extensive blooms regularly. Under... -
Physiological responses of the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana to incr...
We studied the effects of elevated CO2 concentration and seawater acidity on inorganic carbon acquisition, photoinhibition and photoprotection as well as growth and respiration... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and hatch rates of Antarctic krill
Marine ecosystems of the Southern Ocean are particularly vulnerable to ocean acidification. Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba; hereafter krill) is the key pelagic species of... -
The morphological response of Emiliania huxleyi to seawater carbonate chemist...
Four strains of the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi (RCC1212, RCC1216, RCC1238, RCC1256) were grown in dilute batch culture at four CO2 levels ranging from ~200 µatm to ~1200... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and reproduction of a coral reef fish in a labor...
Ocean acidification is predicted to negatively impact the reproduction of many marine species, either by reducing fertilization success or diverting energy from reproductive... -
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 elemental composition of purple sea urchin (...
Ocean acidification will likely have negative impacts on invertebrates producing skeletons composed of calcium carbonate. Skeletal solubility is partly controlled by the... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and effects of ocean acidification on different ...
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 egg production, hatching and metabolic rates...
This study includes the first information on the combined effect of low pH and raised temperature on egg production rate (EP), hatching success (HS), excretion and respiration... -
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... -

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 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 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...
