Impact of ocean acidification on phytoplankton assemblage, growth, and DMS production following Fe-dust additions in the NE Pacific high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll waters
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification (OA) is likely to have an effect on the fertilizing potential of desert dust in high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll oceanic regions, either by modifying iron (Fe)...

Acidification alters the composition of ammonia‑oxidizing microbial assemblages in marine mesocosms
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations are causing decreased pH over vast expanses of the ocean. This decreasing pH may alter biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen via the...

Mineralogy of deep-sea coral aragonites as a function of aragonite saturation state
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
In an ocean with rapidly changing chemistry, studies have assessed coral skeletal health under projected ocean acidification (OA) scenarios by characterizing morphological distortions in...

A year in the life of a central California kelp forest: physical and biological insights into biogeochemical variability
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Kelp forests are among the world's most productive marine ecosystems, yet little is known about their biogeochemistry. This study presents a 14-month time series (July 2013–August 2014)...

Phytoplankton do not produce carbon-rich organic matter in high CO2 oceans
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The ocean is a substantial sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) released as a result of human activities. Over the coming decades the dissolved inorganic C concentration in the...

An aposymbiotic primary coral polyp counteracts acidification by active pH regulation
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Corals build their skeletons using extracellular calcifying fluid located in the tissue-skeleton interface. However, the mechanism by which corals control the transport of calcium and...

Functional traits for carbon access in macrophytes
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Understanding functional trait distributions among organisms can inform impacts on and responses to environmental change. In marine systems, only 1% of dissolved inorganic carbon in...

Expected limits on the ocean acidification buffering potential of a temperate seagrass meadow
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification threatens many marine organisms, especially marine calcifiers. The only global‐scale solution to ocean acidification remains rapid reduction in CO2 emissions....

Aragonite saturation state variation and control in the river-dominated marginal BoHai and Yellow seas of China during summer
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Based on a survey conducted from June to July 2013, aragonite saturation state variation and control in the river-dominated marginal BoHai and Yellow seas were investigated. Surface water...

Deep oceans may acidify faster than anticipated due to global warming
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Oceans worldwide are undergoing acidification due to the penetration of anthropogenic CO2 from the atmosphere1,2,3,4. The rate of acidification generally diminishes with increasing depth....

Impacts of elevated CO2 on organic carbon dynamics in nutrient depleted Okhotsk Sea surface waters
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing CO2 in seawater (i.e. ocean acidification) may have various and potentially adverse effects on phytoplankton dynamics and hence the organic carbon dynamics. We conducted a CO2...

The combined effects of ocean acidification, mixing, and respiration on pH and carbonate saturation in an urbanized estuary
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Puget Sound is a large estuary complex in the U.S. Pacific Northwest that is home to a diverse and economically important ecosystem threatened by anthropogenic impacts associated with...

Conservative and non-conservative variations of total alkalinity on the Southeastern Bering Sea Shelf
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Recent observations of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) mineral undersaturations on the Bering Sea Shelf have prompted new interest in the physical and biological factors that control the...

The role of ocean acidification in systemic carbonate mineral suppression in the Bering Sea
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification driven by absorption of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere is now recognized as a systemic, global process that could threaten diverse marine...

Influence of post-Tehuano oceanographic processes in the dynamics of the CO system in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
This investigation reports, for the first time, results of CO2 system variables in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, located in the Mexican tropical Pacific. We quantified the post-Tehuano...
