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... -
Changes in planktic foraminiferal shell chemistry and size normalized weight ...
Three high resolution multicore records have been collected at three sites in the western Mediterranean with a MC400-Multicorer system during the MedSeA cruise (Mediterranean... -
Age model, sea surface temperature and marine calcifying plankton changes at ...
Three high resolution multicore records from two western Mediterranean Sea regions (Alboran and Balearic basins) have been analyzed for sea surface temperature (SST),... -
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... -
Environmental parameters and morphological parameters of Globigerinoides rube...
Planktic foraminifera were collected with 150 µm BONGO nets from the upper 200 m water depth at 20 stations across the Mediterranean Sea between 02 May and 02 June, 2013. The... -
Biogeochemical and physico-chemical characteristics in the gulf of Trieste, I...
In this paper we investigated, for two years and with a bi-monthly frequency, how physical, chemical, and biological processes affect the marine carbonate system in a coastal... -
Stable isotopes, radionuclides, and calculated sea surface temperature of two...
The Eastern Mediterranean Transient (EMT) occurred in the Aegean Sea from 1988 to 1995 and is the most significant intermediate-to-deep Mediterranean overturning perturbation... -
Carbonate system during the May 2013 MedSeA cruise
Most global ocean models are based on the assumption of a "steady state" ocean. Here, we investigate the validation of this hypothesis for the anthropized Mediterranean Sea. In... -
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... -
Effects of Ocean Acidification on calcification and biochemical balance of th...
We evaluated the effects of low pH on Corallium rubrum from aquaria experiments. Several colonies of C. rubrum were long-term maintained for 314 days in aquaria at two different... -
Effects of ocean acidification on the growth of calcifying and non-calcifying...
Temperate marine rocky habitats may be alternatively characterized by well vegetated macroalgal assemblages or barren grounds, as a consequence of direct and indirect human... -
Benthic foraminiferal assemblage counts from the Gulf of California
Extensive CO2 vents have been discovered in the Wagner Basin, northern Gulf of California, where they create large areas with lowered seawater pH. Such areas are suitable for... -
Coccolithophora and geochemistry of sapropel S1 in ODP Hole 160-964B
The cyclic development of anoxic conditions in the eastern Mediterranean deep sea waters is one of the most fascinating research topics in paleoceanographic studies. In... -
Stareso MedSeA mesocosm experiment: field and perturbation studies 2012
A joint mesocosm experiment took place in June/July 2012 in Corsica (bay of Calvi, Stareso station;http://www.stareso.com/) as part of the european MedSeA project. Nine... -
pH and calcium change in the microenvironment of a benthic foraminifer (Ammon...
Calcareous foraminifera are well known for their CaCO3 shells. Yet, CaCO3 precipitation acidifies the calcifying fluid. Calcification without pH regulation would therefore... -
Isotope ratios, trace elements and ultrastructure results of Mytilus gallopro...
Bivalve shells can provide excellent archives of past environmental change but have not been used to interpret ocean acidification events. We investigated carbon, oxygen and... -
Distribution of Florisphaera profunda and Helicosphaera carteri in down core ...
A detailed assessment of the respective roles of production, export, and subsequent preservation of organic carbon (Corg) in the eastern Mediterranean (EMED) sediments during... -
Anemone abundance and productivity at North Vulcano Island in May 2011
Increased seawater pCO2, and in turn 'ocean acidification' (OA), is predicted to profoundly impact marine ecosystem diversity and function this century. Much research has... -
Coral and mollusc resistance to ocean acidification adversely affected by war...
Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations are expectedto decrease surface ocean pH by 0.3-0.5 units by 2100, lowering the carbonate ion concentration of... -
Responses of marine benthic microalgae to elevated CO2
Increasing anthropogenic CO2 emissions to the atmosphere are causing a rise in pCO2 concentrations in the ocean surface and lowering pH. To predict the effects of these changes,...
