Ocean acidification, a consequence of rising anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, is poised to
change marine ecosystems profoundly by increasing dissolved CO 2 and decreasing ocean …

Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human industrial activities are causing a
progressive alteration of seawater chemistry, termed ocean acidification, which has …

Ocean acidification is a series of chemical reactions due to increased CO 2 emissions. The
resulting lower pH impairs the senses of reef fishes and reduces their survival, and might …

Ocean acidification resulting from human emissions of carbon dioxide has already lowered
and will further lower surface ocean pH. The consequent decrease in calcium carbonate …

on marine fauna and ecosystem processes.–ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 414–432 …

Ocean acidification lowers the oceanic saturation states of carbonate minerals and
decreases the calcification rates of some marine organisms that provide a range of …

Abstract Denman, K., Christian, JR, Steiner, N., Pörtner, HO., and Nojiri, Y. 2011. Potential
impacts of future ocean acidification on marine ecosystems and fisheries: current knowledge …

As the oceans absorb anthropogenic CO2 they become more acidic, a problem termed
ocean acidification (OA). Since this increase in CO2 is occurring rapidly, OA may have …

Ocean acidification is increasingly recognized as a major global problem. Yet economic
assessments of its effects are currently almost absent. Unlike most other marine organisms …

Continued anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are acidifying our oceans, and
hydrogen ion concentrations in surface oceans are predicted to increase 150% by 2100 …
