Ocean acidification (OA) is generally assumed to negatively impact calcification rates of
marine organisms. At a local scale however, biological activity of macrophytes may generate …

Coastal ecosystems can experience acidification via upwelling, eutrophication, riverine
discharge, and climate change. While the resulting increases in p CO 2 can have …

Coastal ecosystems that are characterized by kelp forests encounter daily pH fluctuations,
driven by photosynthesis and respiration, which are larger than pH changes owing to ocean …

Coastal zones can be focal points of acidification where the influx of atmospheric CO2 can
be compounded by additional sources of acidity that may collectively impair calcifying …

Ocean acidification (OA) has been shown to affect significantly the net calcification process
and growth rate of many marine calcifying organisms. Recent studies have shown that the …

Reduction in seawater pH due to rising levels of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the
world's oceans is a major force set to shape the future of marine ecosystems and the …

Natural variation and changing climate in coastal oceans subject meroplanktonic organisms
to broad ranges of pH and oxygen ([O2]) levels. In controlled‐laboratory experiments we …

The direct influence of anthropogenic CO 2 might play a limited role in pH regulation in
coastal ecosystems as pH regulation in these areas can be complex. They experience large …

In order to assess the effects of ocean acidification and warming on the Mediterranean
mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis), specimens were reared in aquarium tanks and exposed …

Ocean acidification is expected to decrease calcification rates of bivalves. Nevertheless, in
many coastal areas high p CO 2 variability is encountered already today. K iel F jord (W …
