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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
Environmental controls on the Emiliania huxleyi calcite mass
Although ocean acidification is expected to impact (bio)calcification by decreasing the seawater carbonate ion concentration, [CO3]2-, there exists evidence of non-uniform... -
Ocean acidification and the loss of phenolic substances in marine plants
Rising atmospheric CO2 often triggers the production of plant phenolics, including many that serve as herbivore deterrents, digestion reducers, antimicrobials, or ultraviolet... -
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 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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and benthic foraminifera Ammonia sp. uranium inc...
The chemical and isotopic composition of foraminiferal shells (so-called proxies) reflects the physico-chemical properties of the seawater. In current day paleoclimate research,... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and benthic foraminifera Ammonia sp. mass, size,...
About 30% of the anthropogenically released CO2 is taken up by the oceans; such uptake causes surface ocean pH to decrease and is commonly referred to as ocean acidification... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, nutrients, and Calcidiscus leptoporus (strain R...
The coccolithophore Calcidiscus leptoporus was grown in batch culture under nitrogen (N) as well as phosphorus (P) limitation. Growth rate, particulate inorganic carbon (PIC),... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biological processes of Emiliania huxleyi (s...
With respect to their sensitivity to ocean acidification, calcifiers such as the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi have received special attention, as the process of... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, growth rate and morphology of Calcidiscus lepto...
The coccolithophore Calcidiscus leptoporus (strain RCC1135) was grown in dilute batch culture at CO2 levels ranging from ~200 to ~1600 µatm. Increasing CO2 concentration led to... -
Environmental characteristics and E. huxleyi coccoliths mass and morphology i...
To understand the response of marine calcifying organisms under high CO2 scenarios, it is critical to study their calcification patterns in the natural environment. This paper... -
Villefranche MedSeA mesocosm experiment 2013: perturbation studies and field ...
A joint mesocosm experiment took place in February/March 2013 in the bay of Villefranche in France as part of the european MedSeA project. Nine mesocosms (52 m**3) were deployed...
