Sentences with phrase «export of alkalinity»
Coastal ecosystems may show acidification or basification, depending on the balance between the invasion of coastal waters by anthropogenic CO2, watershed export of alkalinity, organic matter and CO2, and changes in the balance between primary production, respiration and calcification rates in response to changes in nutrient inputs and losses of ecosystem components.

Science 4 JULY 2003 VOL 301 «Increase in the Export of Alkalinity from North America's Largest River» Peter A. Raymond and Jonathan J. Cole offers a strong candidate for the «missing sink» in the form of surprisingly large riverine export of carbon, mostly mineralized.
Integrating all changes that may occur on a watershed with the potential to impact coastal pH downstream (e.g. changes in land use, nutrient export, changes in runoff, changes in industrial and urban exports of alkalinity, mining activities) over a century timescale is challenging.
Not exact matches
The intensification of the hydrological cycle, with increased freshwater discharge, may also lead to decreased pH, although this effect may be partially compensated by increased alkalinity export, depending on land use changes.
