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... -
Shallow water marine sediment bacterial community shifts along a natural CO2 ...
The effects of increasing atmospheric CO(2) on ocean ecosystems are a major environmental concern, as rapid shoaling of the carbonate saturation horizon is exposing vast areas... -
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... -
Ocean acidification impairs vermetid reef recruitment
Vermetids form reefs in sub-tropical and warm-temperate waters that protect coasts from erosion, regulate sediment transport and accumulation, serve as carbon sinks and provide... -
Elevated pCO2 causes developmental delay in early larval Pacific oysters, Cra...
Increasing atmospheric CO2 equilibrates with surface seawater, elevating the concentration of aqueous hydrogen ions. This process, ocean acidification, is a future and... -
Impact of medium-term exposure to elevated pCO2 levels on the physiological e...
This study evaluated the impact of medium-term exposure to elevated pCO2 levels (750-1200 ppm) on the physiological processes of juvenile Mytilus chilensis mussels over a period... -
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... -
Geographical variation in shell morphology of juvenile snails (Concholepas co...
Changes in phenotypic traits, such as mollusc shells, are indicative of variations in selective pressure along environmental gradients. Recently, increased sea surface... -
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... -
The effects of thermal and high-CO2 stresses on the metabolism and surroundin...
The effects of elevated temperature and high pCO2 on the metabolism of Galaxea fascicularis were studied with oxygen and pH microsensors. Photosynthesis and respiration rates... -
Elevated CO2 levels do not affect the shell structure of the bivalve Arctica ...
Shells of the bivalve Arctica islandica are used to reconstruct paleo-environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) via biogeochemical proxies, i.e. biogenic components that are... -
Carbonate chemistry, community metabolism, PAR, temperature and salinity of O...
There are few in situ studies showing how net community calcification (Gnet) of coral reefs is related to carbonate chemistry, and the studies to date have demonstrated... -
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... -
Mixed effects of elevated pCO2 on fertilisation, larval and juvenile developm...
Ocean acidification is predicted to have severe consequences for calcifying marine organisms especially molluscs. Recent studies, however, have found that molluscs in marine... -
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... -
CO2-induced ocean acidification increases anxiety in Rockfish via alteration ...
The average surface pH of the ocean is dropping at a rapid rate due to the dissolution of anthropogenic CO2, raising concerns for marine life. Additionally, some coastal areas... -
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... -
Sea urchin response to rising pCO2 shows ocean acidification may fundamentall...
Ocean acidification caused by an increase in pCO2 is expected to drastically affect marine ecosystem composition, yet there is much uncertainty about the mechanisms through... -
Villefranche sur Mer: multistressors experiment March 2012
The effect of ocean warming and acidification was investigated on a natural plankton assemblage from an oligotrophic area, the bay of Villefranche (NW Mediterranean Sea). The...
