Seawater acidification more than warming presents a challenge for two Antarct...
Elevated atmospheric pCO2 concentrations are triggering seawater pH reductions and seawater temperature increases along the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). These factors in... -
The effect of CO2 enrichment on net photosynthesis of the red alga Furcellari...
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere are causing reduction in the global ocean pH, also known as ocean acidification. This change alters the... -
An in situ assessment of local adaptation in a calcifying polychaete froma sh...
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Gattuso et al, 2016) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of... -
Effects of temperature and ocean acidification on shell characteristics of Ar...
Coastal upwelling regions already constitute hot spots of ocean acidification as naturally acidified waters are brought to the surface. This effect could be exacerbated by ocean... -
Parasitic infection: a buffer against ocean acidification?
Recently, there has been a concerted research effort by marine scientists to quantify the sensitivity of marine organisms to ocean acidification (OA). Empirical data generated... -
Effects of high dissolved inorganic and organic carbon availability on the ph...
Coral reefs are facing major global and local threats due to climate change-induced increases in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and because of land-derived increases in... -
Effects of elevated pCO2 and feeding on net calcification and energy budget o...
Ocean acidification is a major threat to calcifying marine organisms such as deep-sea cold-water corals (CWC), but related knowledge is scarce. The aragonite saturation... -
Interpreting the role of pH on stable isotopes in large benthic foraminifera
Large benthic foraminifera (LBF) are prolific producers of calcium carbonate sediments in shallow, tropical environments that are being influenced by ocean acidification (OA).... -
Juvenile pen shells (Pinna nobilis) tolerate acidification but are vulnerable...
In the course of this century, rising anthropogenic CO2 emissions will likely cause a decrease in ocean pH, know as ocean acidification, together with an increase of water... -
Interannual stability of organic to inorganic carbon production on a coral atoll
Ocean acidification has the potential to adversely affect marine calcifying organisms, with substantial ocean ecosystem impacts projected over the 21st century. Characterizing... -
Interactive effects of ocean acidification and warming on coral reef associat...
Epilithic algal communities play critical ecological roles on coral reefs, but their response to individual and interactive effects of ocean warming (OW) and ocean acidification... -
Will jumping snails prevail? Influence of near-future CO2, temperature and hy...
Tropical coral reef organisms are predicted to be especially sensitive to ocean warming because many already live close to their upper thermal limit, and the expected rise in... -
Enrichments (DIC and DOC) on the photosynthesis and calcification rates of tw...
Coral reefs worldwide are affected by increasing dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and organic carbon (DOC) concentrations due to ocean acidification (OA) and coastal... -
Combined ocean acidification and low temperature stressors cause coral mortality
Oceans are predicted to become more acidic and experience more temperature variability-both hot and cold-as climate changes. Ocean acidification negatively impacts reef-building... -
Distribution and functional traits of polychaetes in a CO2 vent system: winne...
We report on fine taxonomic and functional analyses of polychaetes associated with rocky reefs along a gradient of ocean acidification (OA) at the volcanic CO2 vent system off... -
Impact of ocean acidification on antimicrobial activity in gills of the blue ...
Here, we aimed to investigate potential effects of ocean acidification on antimicrobial peptide (AMP) activity in the gills of Mytilus edulis, as gills are directly facing... -
Ocean acidification and temperature increase impact mussel shell shape and th...
Ocean acidification threatens organisms that produce calcium carbonate shells by potentially generating an under-saturated carbonate environment. Resultant reduced calcification... -
Biomineral shell formation under ocean acidification: a shift from order to c...
Biomineral production in marine organisms employs transient phases of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) in the construction of crystalline shells. Increasing seawater pCO2 leads... -
Effects of pCO2 on spatial competition between the corals Montipora aequitube...
We tested the hypothesis that ocean acidification (OA) affects spatial competition among scleractinian corals. Competitive ability was evaluated indirectly by linear extension... -
Coral pH regulation of the calcifying fluid is modulated by seawater dissolve...
Reef coral calcification depends on regulation of pH in the internal calcifying fluid in which the coral skeleton forms. However, little is known about calcifying fluid pH...
