Sentences with phrase «acidification depends»

«Shellfish response to ocean acidification depends on other stressors: Vulnerability of mussels to harmful effects from acidic seawater varies among different locations along the West Coast, study finds.»

Doesn't acidification depend on the instantaneous concentration (partial pressure) and the chemical state of the ocean whether it is in equilibrium or not?

Not exact matches

Ocean acidification and rising sea levels could cause problems for the shellfish the knots depend on in Tierra del Fuego and the Gulf of Mexico.

A study of California mussels, a key species in the rocky intertidal ecosystems of the West Coast, indicates that the effects of ocean acidification will vary from place to place along the coast depending on a range of interacting factors.

Now, Fabry said, the question is not whether acidification is happening, but how bad it will get — which depends on future CO2 emissions.

Ocean acidification threatens the ability of pteropods to form their fragile shells, putting a range of commercially important fish at risk that depend on the small snails for food, including salmon, herring and yellowfin tuna as well as mammals like baleen whales, ringed seals and marine birds.

This untimely egress depends on host cell acidification.

Ocean acidification trends and possible future scenarios, depending upon greenhouse gas pollution levels.

However, this in itself is not enough to define what level of warming is «dangerous,» especially since the projections of actual impacts for any level of warming are highly uncertain, and depend on further factors such as how quickly these levels are reached (so how long ecosystems and society have had to respond), and what other changes are associated with them (eg: carbon dioxide concentration, since this affects plant photosynthesis and water use efficiency, and ocean acidification).

Ocean acidification: Abrupt (human scale), catastrophic if you're a fish, a plankton, a coral, or anything that eats them or depends in any way on ocean ecosystems.

But a new study shows that ocean acidification, the result of atmospheric carbon being absorbed by the ocean, might rob sharks of the sense they most depend on.

Acidification and climate change will put further pressure on living marine resources, such as fisheries and coral reefs that we depend upon for food, tourism and other economic and aesthetic benefits.

Corals and other species that depend upon them are also highly vulnerable due to the combined effects of warming ocean water, ocean acidification, and other human - caused stresses.

The vast amounts of CO2 absorbed by the oceans causes acidification, influencing the health of our oceans and those whose livelihoods and nutrition depend on them.

With virtually all CAGW projections diverging further from reality, CAGW's survival depends on propagandizing lies and half - truths: the «97 %» meme, severe weather, sea levels, global warming trends, ocean acidification, polar bear and penguin populations, polar ice caps, etc., are all supposedly worsening at «unprecedented» rates.

They say this approach is crucial to understanding the full scope and complexity of ocean acidification's impact, as well as to predicting how acidification will affect the coastal communities that depend on these ecosystems.

Ocean acidification could thus conceivably lead to undersaturation and dissolution of calcium carbonate in parts of the surface ocean during the 21st century, depending on the evolution of atmospheric CO2 (Orr et al., 2005).

Depending on the balance between the anthropogenic drivers impacting marine pH, the trajectories of future pH of some coastal ecosystems will range from steep acidification, several-fold faster than expected from anthropogenic CO2 emissions alone, to basification.

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.
