Effects of pCO2 on spatial competition between the corals Montipora aequituberculata and Porites lutea
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
We tested the hypothesis that ocean acidification (OA) affects spatial competition among scleractinian corals. Competitive ability was evaluated indirectly by linear extension of Porites...

Insights from sodium into the impacts of elevated pCO2 and temperature on bivalve shell formation
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification and warming are predicted to affect the ability of marine bivalves to build their shells, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Shell formation is an...

Potential future coral habitats around Japan depend strongly on anthropogenic CO2 emissions
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Using the results from the NCAR CSM1.4-coupled global carbon cycle–climate model under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emission scenarios SRES A2 and B1, we estimated...

Variable responses of temperate calcified and fleshy macroalgae to elevated CO2 and warming
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions simultaneously increase ocean temperatures and reduce ocean surface pH, a process termed ocean acidification (OA). OA is expected to...

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)...

An ocean acidification acclimatised green tide alga is robust to changes of seawater carbon chemistry but vulnerable to light stress
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ulva is the dominant genus in the green tide events and is considered to have efficient CO2 concentrating mechanisms (CCMs). However, little is understood regarding the impacts of ocean...

Assessment of ocean acidification and warming on the growth, calcification, and biophotonics of a California grass shrimp
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Cryptic colouration in crustaceans, important for both camouflage and visual communication, is achieved through physiological and morphological mechanisms that are sensitive to changes in...

Synergistic effects of elevated carbon dioxide and sodium hypochlorite on survival and impairment of three phytoplankton species
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is widely used to disinfect seawater in power plant cooling systems in order to reduce biofouling, and in ballast water treatment systems to prevent transport...

Effect of pH and temperature on antioxidant responses of the thick shell mussel Mytilus coruscus
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
This study evaluated the combined effects of seawater pH decrease and temperature increase on the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the thick shell mussel Mytilus coruscus, an ecological...

Publications
Combined effects of short-term exposure to elevated CO2 and decreased O2 on the physiology and energy budget of the thick shell mussel Mytilus coruscus
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Hypoxia and ocean acidification are two consequences of anthropogenic activities. These global trends occur on top of natural variability. In environments such as estuarine areas, short-...

Effects of CO2 and seawater acidification on the early stages of Saccharina japonica development
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
In this paper, we demonstrated that ocean acidification (OA) had significant negative effects on the microscopic development of Saccharina japonica in a short-term exposure experiment...

Interactive effects of temperature, CO2 and nitrogen source on a coastal California diatom assemblage
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Diatoms are often considered to be a single functional group, yet there is a great deal of morphological, genetic and ecological diversity within the class. How these differences will...

CO2-driven seawater acidification increases photochemical stress in a green alga
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increased CO2 and associated acidification in seawater, known as ocean acidification, decreases calcification of most marine calcifying organisms. However, there is little information...

Relationships between temperature, pH, and crusting on Mg/Ca ratios in laboratory-grown Neogloboquadrina foraminifera
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Mg/Ca ratio paleothermometry in foraminifera is an important tool for the reconstruction and interpretation of past environments. However, existing Mg/Ca:temperature relationships for...

Carbon and nitrogen accumulation in the economic seaweed Gracilaria lemaneiformis affected by ocean acidification and increasing temperature
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
During mariculture period, maricultured macroalga Gracilaria lemaneiformis experienced seasonal temperature changes. In this study, we examine the effects of predicted ocean acidification...

Ocean warming and acidification have complex interactive effects on the dynamics of a marine fungal disease
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Diseases threaten the structure and function of marine ecosystems and are contributing to the global decline of coral reefs. We currently lack an understanding of how climate change...

Synergistic effects of climate-related variables suggest future physiological impairment in a top oceanic predator
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
By the end of this century, anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are expected to decrease the surface ocean pH by as much as 0.3 unit. At the same time, the ocean is expected to...
