Increased nutrient loading into estuaries causes the accumulation of algal biomass, and
microbial degradation of this organic matter decreases oxygen levels and contributes …

Oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere has changed
ocean biogeochemistry and threatened the health of organisms through a process known as …

Ocean acidification due to anthropogenic CO 2 emissions is a dominant driver of long-term

A substantial body of research now exists demonstrating sensitivities of marine organisms to
ocean acidification (OA) in laboratory settings. However, corresponding in situ observations …

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is raising seawater CO2 concentrations and
thereby acidifying ocean water. But a second environmental problem, eutrophication, is also …

Inorganic carbon chemistry data from the surface and subsurface waters of the West Coast
of North America have been compared with similar data from the northern Gulf of Mexico to …

Global change is leading to warming, acidification, and oxygen loss in the ocean. In the
Southern California Bight, an eastern boundary upwelling system, these stressors are …

The combined effects of anthropogenic and biological CO2 inputs may lead to more rapid
acidification in coastal waters compared to the open ocean. It is less clear, however, how …
