Effect of acidification on an Arctic phytoplankton community from Disko Bay, ...
Long-term measurements (i.e. months) of in situ pH have not previously been reported from the Arctic; this study shows fluctuations between pH 7.5 and 8.3 during the spring... -
Mesozooplankton community development at elevated CO2
The increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels leads to increasing pCO2 and decreasing pH in the world ocean. These changes may have severe... -
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... -
Gene expression profiling in gills of the great spider crab Hyas araneus in r...
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 response of Antarctic sea ice algae to changes in pH and CO2
Ocean acidification substantially alters ocean carbon chemistry and hence pH but the effects on sea ice formation and the CO2 concentration in the enclosed brine channels are... -
Multiple stressor effects of near-future elevated seawater temperature and de...
Warming seawater temperatures and ocean acidification on the coastal western Antarctic Peninsula pose unique challenges to stenothermal marine invertebrates. The present study... -
Iron limitation modulates ocean acidification effects on southern ocean phyto...
The potential interactive effects of iron (Fe) limitation and Ocean Acidification in the Southern Ocean (SO) are largely unknown. Here we present results of a long-term... -
Bioturbation determines the response of benthic ammonia-oxidizing microorgani...
Ocean acidification (OA), caused by the dissolution of increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater, is projected to cause significant changes to... -
Sensitivity to ocean acidification parallels natural pCO2 gradients experienc...
The Arctic Ocean is a bellwether for ocean acidification, yet few direct Arctic studies have been carried out and limited observations exist, especially in winter. We present... -
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... -
Calcification of the Arctic coralline red algae Lithothamnion glaciale in res...
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations could cause a calcium carbonate subsaturation of Arctic surface waters in the next 20 yr, making these waters corrosive for calcareous... -
Impacts of ocean acidification on sediment processes in shallow waters of the...
Despite the important roles of shallow-water sediments in global biogeochemical cycling, the effects of ocean acidification on sedimentary processes have received relatively... -
Performance of the Arctic calanoid copepods Calanus glacialis and C. hyperbor...
The sensitivity of copepods to ocean acidification (OA) and warming may increase with time, however, studies >10 days and on synergistic effects are rare. We therefore... -
Increased feeding and nutrient excretion of adult antarctic krill, Euphausia ...
Ocean acidification has a wide-ranging potential for impacting the physiology and metabolism of zooplankton. Sufficiently elevated CO2 concentrations can alter internal... -
CO2-induced fertilization impairment in Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis col...
Fertilization depends on distribution and aggregation patterns of sea urchins which influence gamete contact time and may potentially enhance their vulnerability to ocean... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and proportion of different dissolution levels i...
The carbonate chemistry of the surface ocean is rapidly changing with ocean acidification, a result of human activities. In the upper layers of the Southern Ocean, aragonite-a... -
Effects of pre-hatching pCO2 on development and survival of zoea stages of Ar...
Sensitivity of marine crustaceans to anthropogenic CO2 emissions and the associated acidification of the oceans may be less than that of other, especially lower, invertebrates.... -
Effects of ocean acidification on respiration, growth and C:N ratio of arctic...
Early life stages of marine crustaceans respond sensitively to elevated seawater PCO2. However, the underlying physiological mechanisms have not been studied well. We therefore... -
Synergistic effects of ocean acidification and warming on overwintering ptero...
Ocean acidification and warming will be most pronounced in the Arctic Ocean. Aragonite shell-bearing pteropods in the Arctic are expected to be among the first species to suffer... -
Sponge bioerosion accelerated by ocean acidification across species and latit...
In many marine biogeographic realms, bioeroding sponges dominate the internal bioerosion of calcareous substrates such as mollusc beds and coral reef framework. They...
