Although seagrasses and marine macroalgae (macro‐autotrophs) play critical ecological
roles in reef, lagoon, coastal and open‐water ecosystems, their response to ocean …

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), primarily from human fossil fuel combustion,
reduces ocean pH and causes wholesale shifts in seawater carbonate chemistry. The …

Global‐scale ocean acidification has spurred interest in the capacity of seagrass
ecosystems to increase seawater pH within crucial shoreline habitats through photosynthetic …

Productivity of seagrasses can be controlled by physiological processes, as well as various
biotic and abiotic factors that influence plant metabolism. Light, temperature, and inorganic …

Ocean acidification is rapidly changing the carbonate system of the world oceans. Past mass
extinction events have been linked to ocean acidification, and the current rate of change in …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea, one of the regions warming fastest under climate change,,
harbours lush seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) meadows that form the basis for a key …

The magnitudes, variations, locations and mechanisms responsible for the global
atmospheric CO2 sink are uncertain and under continuing debate. Previous studies have …

Seagrass distribution is controlled by light availability, especially at the deepest edge of the
meadow. Light attenuation due to both natural and anthropogenically-driven processes …

1.1 Background Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most impor-tant gases in the
atmosphere, affecting the radiative heat balance of the earth as well as the calcium …

Carbonate mineral weathering coupled with aquatic photosynthesis on the continents,
herein termed coupled carbonate weathering (CCW), represents a current atmospheric CO …
