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...

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...

Seagrass ecosystem response to long-term high CO2 in a Mediterranean volcanic...

We examined the long-term effect of naturally acidified water on a Cymodocea nodosa meadow growing at a shallow volcanic CO2 vent in Vulcano Island (Italy). Seagrass and...

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...

Ocean acidification induces budding in larval sea urchins

Ocean acidification (OA), the reduction of ocean pH due to hydration of atmospheric CO2, is known to affect growth and survival of marine invertebrate larvae. Survival and...

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...

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 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...

EPOCA Svalbard 2009 benthic experiment: Serripes study, 2009

Ocean acidification influences sediment/water nitrogen fluxes, possibly by impacting on the microbial process of ammonia oxidation. To investigate this further, undisturbed...
