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... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, physiology and skeletal mineralogy of coralline...
Marine organisms inhabiting environments where pCO2/pH varies naturally are suggested to be relatively resilient to future ocean acidification. To test this hypothesis, the... -
Phenotypic plasticity of coralline algae in a High CO2 world
It is important to understand how marine calcifying organisms may acclimatize to ocean acidification to assess their survival over the coming century. We cultured the cold water... -
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... -
Effects of CO2 enrichment on photosynthesis, growth, and nitrogen metabolism ...
Seagrass ecosystems are expected to benefit from the global increase in CO2 in the ocean because the photosynthetic rate of these plants may be Ci-limited at the current CO2... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification of the crustose coralline alga...
Anthropogenic CO2 emissions have exacerbated two environmental stressors, global climate warming and ocean acidification (OA), that have serious implications for marine... -
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... -
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... -
Experiment: Elevated CO2 levels affect the activity of nitrate reductase and ...
The concentration of CO2 in global surface ocean waters is increasing due to rising atmospheric CO2 emissions, resulting in lower pH and a lower saturation state of carbonate... -
Experiment: Combined effects of CO2, temperature, irradiance and time on the ...
In natural environments, marine biotas are exposed to a variety of simultaneously acting abiotic factors. Among these, temperature, irradiance and CO2 availability are major... -
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... -
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... -
Dolomite-rich coralline algae in reefs resist dissolution in acidified condit...
Coral reef ecosystems develop best in high-flow environments but their fragile frameworks are also vulnerable to high wave energy. Wave-resistant algal rims, predominantly made... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, structural and chemical characteristics of the ...
Seagrasses commonly display carbon-limited photosynthetic rates. Thus, increases in atmospheric pCO2, and consequentially oceanic CO2(aq) concentrations, may prove beneficial.... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and concentration boundary layers around complex...
Metabolic processes have the potential to modulate the effects of ocean acidification (OA) in nearshore macroalgal beds. We investigated whether natural mixed assemblages of the... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and structural integrity of the coralline algae ...
The uptake of anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide is resulting in a lowering of the carbonate saturation state and a drop in ocean pH. Understanding how marine calcifying... -
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... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and physiological response of the Mediterranean ...
The response of respiration, photosynthesis, and calcification to elevated pCO2 and temperature was investigated in isolation and in combination in the Mediterranean crustose...
