Effects of Ocean Acidification on Marine Photosynthetic Organisms Under the Concurrent Influences of Warming, UV Radiation, and Deoxygenation

Frontiers in Marine Science, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 6

Published: June 18, 2019

The oceans take up over 1 million tons of anthropogenic CO2 per hour, increasing dissolved pCO2 and decreasing seawater pH in a process called ocean acidification. At the same time greenhouse warming surface results enhanced stratification shoaling upper mixed layers, exposing photosynthetic organisms dwelling here to increased visible UV radiation as well decreased nutrient supply. In addition, eutrophication reduce concentration O2 seawater, contributing spread hypoxic zones. All these global changes interact affect marine primary producers. Such interactions have been documented, but much smaller extent compared responses each single driver. combined effects could be synergistic, neutral or antagonistic depending on species physiological processes involved experimental setups.

Dynamic CO2 and pH levels in coastal, estuarine, and inland waters: Theoretical and observed effects on harmful algal blooms

Harmful Algae, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 91, P. 101594 - 101594

Rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2 results in higher equilibrium dissolved natural waters, with corresponding increases hydrogen ion and bicarbonate decreases hydroxyl carbonate concentrations. Superimposed on these climate change effects is the dynamic nature carbon cycling coastal zones, which can lead to seasonal diel changes pH that exceed expected for open ocean ecosystems by end century.

Shift in algal blooms from micro‐ to macroalgae around China with increasing eutrophication and climate change

Abstract Blooms of microalgal red tides and macroalgae (e.g., green golden caused by Ulva Sargassum ) have widespread problems around China in recent years, but there is uncertainty what triggers these blooms how they interact. Here, we use 30 years monitoring data to help answer questions, focusing on the four main species microalgae Prorocentrum donghaiense , Karenia mikimotoi Noctiluca scintillans Skeletonema costatum associated with region.

Ocean acidification impacts on coastal ecosystem services due to habitat degradation

Abstract The oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions is changing seawater chemistry in a process known as ocean acidification. this rapid change surface waters well understood and readily detectable observations, yet there uncertainty about the effects acidification on society since it difficult to scale-up from laboratory mesocosm tests.

Coralline algae are foundation species in many ecosystems they inhabit, acting as a settlement substrate, and binding together even creating reefs some locations. Ocean acidification is known to be major threat coralline algae. However, the effects of ocean warming less certain. Here we bring multiple lines evidence discuss potential impacts on these ecologically crucial taxa. We use meta-analysis across 40 responses within 14 different studies available that have assessed increasing temperature algal calcification laboratory experiments. do find net negative impact at 5.2° C above ambient conditions under singular warming.

Ocean acidification as a multiple driver: how interactions between changing seawater carbonate parameters affect marine life

Marine and Freshwater Research, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 71(3), P. 263 - 263

Published: Nov. 29, 2019

‘Multiple drivers’ (also termed ‘multiple stressors’) is the term used to describe cumulative effects of multiple environmental factors on organisms or ecosystems. Here, we consider ocean acidification as a driver because many inorganic carbon parameters are changing simultaneously, including total dissolved carbon, CO2, HCO3–, CO32–, H+ and CaCO3 saturation state. With rapid expansion research has come greater understanding complexity intricacies how these simultaneous changes seawater carbonate system affecting marine life. We start by clarifying key terms chemists biologists system. Then, using groups non-calcifying (fish, seaweeds, diatoms) calcifying (coralline algae, coccolithophores, corals, molluscs) organisms, various physiological processes affected different components
