The carbonate reacts with CO2 to form bicarbonate, which leads to a further uptake of CO2 and a decline of the CO32 — concentration in the ocean.
Likewise when ocean concentrations of H + ions increase, they more readily bond to the bicarbonate and carbonate ions to minimize the drop in pH and form more CO2, which can be quickly utilized during photosynthesis.
Conversely when pH falls (Lower pH means higher H + concentrations), the excess H + ions recombine with and are sequestered by any existing carbonate and bicarbonate ions to counteract the falling pH.
When atmospheric CO2 exchanges across the air — sea interface it reacts with seawater through a series of four chemical reactions that increase the concentrations of the carbon species: dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2 (aq)-RRB-, carbonic acid (H2CO3) and bicarbonate (HCO3 ---RRB- Hydrogen ions (H +) are produced by these reactions.
Carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid, which then dissociates to form bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions (H +), so that increasing concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere have been decreasing the pH (acidifying) of the surface ocean (NRC, 2010c).
At this pH range the concentration of CO2 (as carbonic acid — H2CO3, or CO2 hydrate) is 1.5 to two orders of magnitude * lower * than the concentration of bicarbonate ion HCO3 -.
The majority of marine algae have carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) that facilitate the active influx of CO2 and / or bicarbonate ions -LRB--RRB- and elevate C concentrations at the site of C fixation (i.e. Rubisco), with few algae being CO2 - only users [22,23].
