Photosynthetic activity buffers ocean acidification in seagrass meadows
Macrophytes growing in shallow coastal zones characterised by intense metabolic activity have the capacity to modify pH within their canopy and beyond. We observed diel pH... -
Negative effects of ocean acidification on two crustose coralline species usi...
We evaluated acidification effects on two crustose coralline algal species common to Pacific coral reefs, Lithophyllum kotschyanum and Hydrolithon samoense. We used genetically... -
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... -
Ocean acidification has no effect on thermal bleaching in the coral Seriatopo...
The objective of this study was to test whether elevated pCO2 predicted for the year 2100 (85.1 Pa) affects bleaching in the coral Seriatopora caliendrum (Ehrenberg 1834) either... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and sea urchin larval size in a laboratory exper...
Ocean acidification results from an increase in the concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) impacts on marine calcifying species, which is predicted to become more... -
Effects of pCO2 and iron on the elemental composition and cell geometry of th...
Partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and iron availability in seawater show corresponding changes due to biological and anthropogenic activities. The simultaneous change in these... -
Effects of ocean acidification on sponge communities
The effects of ocean acidification on lower invertebrates such as sponges may be pronounced because of their low capacity for acid-base regulation. However, so far, most studies... -
Growth response of an early successional assemblage of coralline algae and be...
The sustained absorption of anthropogenically released atmospheric CO2 by the oceans is modifying seawater carbonate chemistry, a process termed ocean acidification (OA). By the... -
Increased feeding and nutrient excretion of adult antarctic krill, Euphausia ...
Ocean acidification has a wide-ranging potential for impacting the physiology and metabolism of zooplankton. Sufficiently elevated CO2 concentrations can alter internal... -
Decline in growth of foraminifer Marginopora rossi under eutrophication and o...
The combination of global and local stressors is leading to a decline in coral reef health globally. In the case of eutrophication, increased concentrations of dissolved... -
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... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, fertilization and early development of the cora...
Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS), Acanthaster planci, contribute to major declines of coral reef ecosystems throughout the Indo-Pacific. As the oceans warm and... -
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, thickness and carbonate elemental composition o...
Continuous anthropogenic CO2 emissions to the atmosphere and uptake by the oceans will cause a reduction of seawater pH and saturation state (Omega) of CaCO3 minerals from which... -
Diurnal fluctuations in seawater pH influence the response of a calcifying ma...
Coastal ecosystems that are characterized by kelp forests encounter daily pH fluctuations, driven by photosynthesis and respiration, which are larger than pH changes owing to... -
Enhancement of photosynthetic carbon assimilation efficiency by phytoplankton...
A mesocosm experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of future climate conditions on photosynthesis and productivity of coastal phytoplankton. Natural phytoplankton... -
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... -
Effects of Ocean Acidification and Warming on Sperm Activity and Early Life S...
Larval stages are among those most vulnerable to ocean acidification (OA). Projected atmospheric CO2 levels for the end of this century may lead to negative impacts on... -
Responses of the Emiliania huxleyi Proteome to Ocean Acidification
Ocean acidification due to rising atmospheric CO2 is expected to affect the physiology of important calcifying marine organisms, but the nature and magnitude of change is yet to...
