Galápagos coral reef persistence after ENSO warming across an acidification g...
Anthropogenic CO2 is causing warming and ocean acidification. Coral reefs are being severely impacted, yet confusion lingers regarding how reefs will respond to these stressors... -
Physiological advantages of dwarfing in surviving extinctions in high-CO2 oceans
Excessive CO2 in the present-day ocean-atmosphere system is causing ocean acidification, and is likely to cause a severe biodiversity decline in the future, mirroring effects in... -
Limpets counteract ocean acidification induced shell corrosion by thickening ...
Specimens of the patellogastropod limpet Patella caerulea were collected within (pHlow-shells) and outside (pHn-shells) a CO2 vent site at Ischia, Italy. Four pHlow-shells and... -
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... -
Reefs shift from net accretion to net erosion along a natural environmental g...
Coral reefs persist in an accretion-erosion balance and ocean acidification resulting from anthropogenic CO2 emissions threatens to shift this balance in favor of net reef... -
Natural high pCO2 increases autotrophy in Anemonia viridis (Anthozoa) as reve...
Contemporary cnidarian-algae symbioses are challenged by increasing CO2 concentrations (ocean warming and acidification) affecting organisms' biological performance. We examined... -
Seaweed fails to prevent ocean acidification impact on foraminifera along a s...
Ocean acidification causes biodiversity loss, alters ecosystems, and may impact food security, as shells of small organisms dissolve easily in corrosive waters. There is a... -
Could the acid-base status of Antarctic sea urchins indicate a better-than-ex...
Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration alters the chemistry of the oceans towards more acidic conditions. Polar oceans are particularly affected due to their low... -
Trace element profiles of the sea anemone Anemonia viridis living nearby a na...
Ocean acidification (OA) is not an isolated threat, but acts in concert with other impacts on ecosystems and species. Coastal marine invertebrates will have to face the... -
Decline in Coccolithophore Diversity and Impact on Coccolith Morphogenesis Al...
A natural pH gradient caused by marine CO2 seeps off Vulcano Island (Italy) was used to assess the effects of ocean acidification on coccolithophores, which are abundant... -
Seasonality affects macroalgal community response to increases in pCO2
Ocean acidification is expected to alter marine systems, but there is uncertainty about its effects due to the logistical difficulties of testing its large-scale and long-term... -
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... -
Shallow water marine sediment bacterial community shifts along a natural CO2 ...
The effects of increasing atmospheric CO(2) on ocean ecosystems are a major environmental concern, as rapid shoaling of the carbonate saturation horizon is exposing vast areas... -
Geographical variation in shell morphology of juvenile snails (Concholepas co...
Changes in phenotypic traits, such as mollusc shells, are indicative of variations in selective pressure along environmental gradients. Recently, increased sea surface... -
Carbonate chemistry, community metabolism, PAR, temperature and salinity of O...
There are few in situ studies showing how net community calcification (Gnet) of coral reefs is related to carbonate chemistry, and the studies to date have demonstrated... -
The influence of seawater pH on U/ Ca ratios in the scleractinian cold-water ...
The increasing pCO2 in seawater is a serious threat for marine calcifiers and alters the biogeochemistry of the ocean. Therefore, the reconstruction of past-seawater properties... -
Sea urchin response to rising pCO2 shows ocean acidification may fundamentall...
Ocean acidification caused by an increase in pCO2 is expected to drastically affect marine ecosystem composition, yet there is much uncertainty about the mechanisms through... -
Photosynthetic activity buffers ocean acidification in seagrass meadows
Macrophytes growing in shallow coastal zones characterised by intense metabolic activity have the capacity to modify pH within their canopy and beyond. We observed diel pH... -
Diverse coral communities in naturally acidified waters of a Western Pacific ...
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are acidifying the oceans, reducing the concentration of carbonate ions ([CO32-) that calcifying organisms need to build and cement coral... -
Hysteresis between coral reef calcification and the seawater aragonite satura...
Some predictions of how ocean acidification (OA) will affect coral reefs assume a linear functional relationship between the ambient seawater aragonite saturation state (Omega...
