As the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) continues to rise, so too does the amount
of CO2 in the ocean (,), which increases the ocean's acidity. This affects marine ecosystems …

Ocean acidification is likely to have direct negative physiological consequences for many
marine organisms, and cause indirect effects on marine ecosystems. Ocean acidification …

Oceans have played a critical role in shielding Earth from some of the more serious impacts
of climate change by absorbing approximately 30 percent of emitted anthropogenic carbon …

Ocean acidification is a global phenomenon, but it is overlaid by pronounced regional
variability modulated by local physics, chemistry and biology. Recognition of its multifaceted …

The ocean has absorbed a significant portion of all human-made carbon dioxide emissions.
This benefits human society by moderating the rate of climate change, but also causes …

Ocean acidification has emerged over the last two decades as one of the largest threats to
marine organisms and ecosystems. However, most research efforts on ocean acidification …

Ocean acidification (OA) is rapidly emerging as a significant problem for organisms,
ecosystems, and human societies. Globally, addressing OA and its impacts requires …

The oceans moderate the rate and severity of climate change by absorbing massive
amounts of anthropogenic CO 2 but this results in large-scale changes in seawater …

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere and subsequent uptake
by the ocean are changing seawater chemistry, a process known as ocean acidification …

Ocean acidification may have severe consequences for marine ecosystems; however,
assessing its future impact is difficult because laboratory experiments and field observations …
