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... -
Adverse effects of ocean acidification on early development of squid (Doryteu...
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is being absorbed into the ocean, altering seawater chemistry, with potentially negative impacts on a wide range of marine organisms. The... -
Consumers mediate the effects of experimental ocean acidification and warming...
It is well known that ocean acidification can have profound impacts on marine organisms. However, we know little about the direct and indirect effects of ocean acidification 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... -
Experiment: Dissecting the impact of CO2 and pH on the mechanisms of photosyn...
Coccolithophores are important calcifying phytoplankton predicted to be impacted by changes in ocean carbonate chemistry caused by the absorption of anthropogenic CO2. However,... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, calcification and respiration of Mediterranean ...
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Lavigne and Gattuso, 2011) was used to compute a complete and consistent... -
Ocean acidification slows nitrogen fixation and growth in the dominant diazot...
Dissolution of anthropogenic CO(2) increases the partial pressure of CO(2) (pCO(2)) and decreases the pH of seawater. The rate of Fe uptake by the dominant N(2)-fixing... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, calcification and survival of coral recruits in...
Manipulative studies have demonstrated that ocean acidification (OA) is a threat to coral reefs, yet no experiments have employed diurnal variations in pCO2 that are... -
Experiment: Physiological responses of the calcifying rhodophyte, Corallina o...
Future atmospheric CO2 levels will most likely have complex consequences for marine organisms, particulary photosynthetic calcifying organisms. Corallina officinalis L. is an... -
Effects of ocean acidification on overwintering juvenile Arctic pteropods Lim...
Pteropods are planktonic mollusks that play an important role in the food web of various ecosystems, particularly at high latitudes. Because they produce an aragonitic shell,... -
The benthic foraminiferal community in a naturally CO2-rich coastal habitat o...
It is expected that the calcification of foraminifera will be negatively affected by the ongoing acidification of the oceans. Compared to the open oceans, these organisms are... -
Experiment: Organic matter exudation by Emiliania huxleyi under simulated fut...
Emiliania huxleyi (strain B 92/11) was exposed to different nutrient supply, CO2 and temperature conditions in phosphorus controlled chemostats to investigate effects on organic... -
Biological impacts of enhanced alkalinity in Carcinus maenas
Further steps are needed to establish feasible alleviation strategies that are able to reduce the impacts of ocean acidification, whilst ensuring minimal biological side-effects... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biometry and dissolution features of the ben...
Culturing experiments were performed with the benthic foraminifer Ammonia aomoriensis from Flensburg Fjord, western Baltic Sea. The experiments simulated a projected rise in... -
Experiment: Food availability outweighs ocean acidification effects in juveni...
Ocean acidification is expected to decrease calcification rates of bivalves. Nevertheless in many coastal areas high pCO2 variability is encountered already today. Kiel Fjord... -
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... -
Experiment: Influence of CO2 and nitrogen limitation on the coccolith volume ...
Coccolithophores, a key phytoplankton group, are one of the most studied organisms regarding their physiological response to ocean acidification/carbonation. The biogenic... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and hatch rates of Antarctic krill
Marine ecosystems of the Southern Ocean are particularly vulnerable to ocean acidification. Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba; hereafter krill) is the key pelagic species of... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and reproduction of a coral reef fish in a labor...
Ocean acidification is predicted to negatively impact the reproduction of many marine species, either by reducing fertilization success or diverting energy from reproductive...
