Seawater carbonate chemistry and dark respiration and photosynthetic capacity...
Ocean acidification is expected to lower the net accretion of coral reefs yet little is known about its effect on coral photophysiology. This study investigated the effect of... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and dissolution rates by boring microflora durin...
Eight-month-old blocks of the coral Porites lobata colonized by natural Hawaiian euendolithic and epilithic communities were experimentally exposed to two different aqueous pCO2... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biological processes during experiments with...
Atmospheric CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) is expected to increase to 700 µatm or more by the end of the present century. Anthropogenic CO2 is absorbed by the oceans, leading to... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biological processes during experiments with...
Anthropogenic elevation of atmospheric pCO2 is predicted to cause the pH of surface seawater to decline by 0.3-0.4 units by 2100 AD, causing a 50% reduction in seawater [CO3]... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biological processed during experiments with...
Uptake of anthropogenic CO2 by the oceans is altering seawater chemistry with potentially serious consequences for coral reef ecosystems due to the reduction of seawater pH and... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biological processes during experiments with...
Several experiments have shown a decrease of growth and calcification of organisms at decreased pH levels. There is a growing interest to focus on early life stages that are... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and aerobic performance of coral reef fishes dur...
Concerns about the impacts of ocean acidification on marine life have mostly focused on how reduced carbonate saturation affects calcifying organisms. Here, we show that levels... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biological processes duirng experiments with...
There are serious concerns that ocean acidification will combine with the effects of global warming to cause major shifts in marine ecosystems, but there is a lack of field data... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biological processes during experiments with...
The Arctic Ocean and its associated ecosystems face numerous challenges over the coming century. Increasing atmospheric CO2 is causing increasing warming and ice melting as well... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biological processes during experiments with...
The persistence of most coastal marine species depends on larvae finding suitable adult habitat at the end of an offshore dispersive stage that can last weeks or months. We... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biological processes during experiments with...
Future scenarios for the oceans project combined developments of CO2 accumulation and global warming and their impact on marine ecosystems. The synergistic impact of both... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and biological processes during experiments with...
Anthropogenic elevation of atmospheric carbon dioxide (pCO2) is making the oceans more acidic, thereby reducing their degree of saturation with respect to calcium carbonate... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification during experiments with a cora...
Physiological data and models of coral calcification indicate that corals utilize a combination of seawater bicarbonate and (mainly) respiratory CO2 for calcification, not... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and processes during experiments with marine mus...
In the context of future scenarios of progressive accumulation of anthropogenic CO2 in marine surface waters, the present study addresses the effects of long-term hypercapnia on... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and processes during experiments with a coral co...
Ocean acidification represents a key threat to coral reefs by reducing the calcification rate of framework builders. In addition, acidification is likely to affect the... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and processes during experiments with crabs Chio...
Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide could be curbed by large-scale sequestration of CO2 in the deep sea. Such a solution requires prior assessment of the impact of... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, community calcification and photosynthesis duri...
Seven coral reef communities were defined on Shiraho fringing reef, Ishigaki Island, Japan. Net photosynthesis and calcification rates were measured by in situ incubations at 10... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry during experiments with Stylophora pistillata, 2008
The decrease in the saturation state of seawater, following seawater acidification, is believed to be the main factor leading to a decrease in the calcification of marine... -

We examine the effects of seawater pCO2 concentration of 25, 41, and 76 kPa (250, 400, and 750 matm) on the growth rate of a natural assemblage of mixed phytoplankton obtained... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry during experiments with Mytilus edulis, 2008
The effects of medium term (32 d) hypercapnia on the immune response of Mytilus edulis were investigated in mussels exposed to acidified (using CO2) sea water (pH 7.7, 7.5 or...
