Microsensor studies on Padina from a natural CO2 seep: implications of morpho...
Low seawater pH can be harmful to many calcifying marine organisms, but the calcifying macroalgae Padina spp. flourish at natural submarine carbon dioxide seeps where seawater... -
Ocean acidification affects the phyto-zoo plankton trophic transfer efficiency
The critical role played by copepods in ocean ecology and biogeochemistry warrants an understanding of how these animals may respond to ocean acidification (OA). Whilst an... -
CO2 and inorganic nutrient enrichment affect the performance of a calcifying ...
Ocean acidification studies in the past decade have greatly improved our knowledge of how calcifying organisms respond to increased surface ocean CO2 levels. It has become... -
Ocean acidification alters the calcareous microstructure of the green macro-a...
Decreases in seawater pH and carbonate saturation state (Omega) following the continuous increase in atmospheric CO2 represent a process termed ocean acidification, which is... -
Decreased light availability can amplify negative impacts of ocean acidificat...
Coral reef organisms are increasingly and simultaneously affected by global and local stressors such as ocean acidification (OA) and reduced light availability. However,... -
Calcareous green alga Halimeda tolerates ocean acidification conditions at tr...
We investigated ecological, physiological, and skeletal characteristics of the calcifying green alga Halimeda grown at CO2 seeps (pHtotal ~ 7.8) and compared them to those at... -
Saturating light and not increased carbon dioxide under ocean acidification d...
Carbon physiology of a genetically identified Ulva rigida was investigated under different CO2(aq) and light levels. The study was designed to answer whether (1) light or... -
Nutrient availability affects the response of the calcifying chlorophyte Hali...
Atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions cause a decrease in the pH and aragonite saturation state of surface ocean water. As a result, calcifying organisms are expected to suffer... -
Contrasting effects of ocean acidification on tropical fleshy and calcareous ...
Despite the heightened awareness of ocean acidification (OA) effects on marine organisms, few studies empirically juxtapose biological responses to CO2 manipulations across... -
Biomineralization control related to population density under ocean acidifica...
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Lavigne et al, 2014) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of... -
The responses of eight coral reef calcifiers to increasing partial pressure o...
The objective of this study was to investigate whether a tipping point exists in the calcification responses of coral reef calcifiers to CO2. We compared the effects of six... -
Pacific-wide contrast highlights resistance of reef calcifiers to ocean acidi...
Ocean acidification (OA) and its associated decline in calcium carbonate saturation states is one of the major threats that tropical coral reefs face this century. Previous... -
Fast coral reef calcifiers are more sensitive to ocean acidification in short...
To identify the properties of taxa sensitive and resistant to ocean acidification (OA), we tested the hypothesis that coral reef calcifiers differ in their sensitivity to OA as... -
Microenvironmental changes support evidence of photosynthesis and calcificati...
The effects of elevated CO2 and temperature on photosynthesis and calcification of two important calcifying reef algae (Halimeda macroloba and Halimeda cylindracea) were... -
CO2-driven seawater acidification increases photochemical stress in a green alga
Increased CO2 and associated acidification in seawater, known as ocean acidification, decreases calcification of most marine calcifying organisms. However, there is little... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and net photosynthesis, C/N ratio, growth rate, ...
Phytoplankton are the basis of marine food webs, and affect biogeochemical cycles. As CO2 levels increase, shifts in the frequencies and physiology of ecotypes within... -
Future CO2-induced ocean acidification mediates the physiological performance...
The oceans take up more than 1 million tons of CO2 from the air per hour, about one-quarter of the anthropogenically released amount, leading to disrupted seawater chemistry due... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, gross photosynthesis and metabolically induced ...
Ocean acidification (OA) is a reduction in oceanic pH due to increased absorption of anthropogenically produced CO2. This change alters the seawater concentrations of inorganic... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, calcification rate, oxygen production, maximum ...
The effects of elevated CO2 and temperature on photosynthesis and calcification in the calcifying algae Halimeda macroloba and Halimeda cylindracea and the symbiont-bearing... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, calcification and dissolution response, and ske...
Increasing atmospheric pCO2 reduces the saturation state of seawater with respect to the aragonite, high-Mg calcite (Mg/Ca > 0.04), and low-Mg calcite (Mg/Ca < 0.04)...
