Sentences with phrase «calcifying marine»

«Since the publication of two reports in 2005 — 2006 [1], [2], the drive to forecast the effects of anthropogenic ocean acidification (OA) on marine ecosystems and their resident calcifying marine organisms has resulted in a growing body of research.

This, of course, causes ocean acidification and ocean warming, which are progressing especially rapidly in the North Pacific and Arctic oceans and threatening the survival of many calcifying marine organisms, including cold - water corals (and the plankton they eat).

In fact, even a cursory review of the peer - reviewed scientific literature reveals that an equally strong case — if not a more persuasive one — can be made for the proposition that the ongoing rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration will actually prove a boon to calcifying marine life.

So you haven't studied the evidence, but you take it at face value that someone who practices «normative science» is correct when he states that the case for atmospheric being a «boon» to calcifying marine life is equal if not more persuasive than the case that it will be harmful?

Increasing ocean acidification can have negative effects on calcifying marine organisms.

Abrupt Rise in Sea Level Delayed the Transition to Agriculture in Southeastern Europe (22/03/2018) Researchers of the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre, the Goethe University in Frankfurt and the University of Toronto have detected evidence of this oceanographic event in the fossils of tiny calcifying marine algae preserved in seafloor sediments in the Aegean Sea.

Researchers of the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre, the Goethe University in Frankfurt and the University of Toronto have now detected evidence of this oceanographic event and an earlier sudden sea - level rise in the fossils of tiny calcifying marine algae preserved in seafloor sediments in the Aegean Sea.

With all this, we want to evaluate the bathymetric variability in the Mg content because factors related to depth have the potential to provide an analogue for future changes in the skeletal mineralogy of calcifying marine organisms.

A subsequent earliest Triassic rapid and large injection of carbon caused an abrupt acidification event that drove the preferential loss of heavily calcified marine biota.

The genus Coccolithovirus is a recently discovered group of viruses that infect the globally important marine calcifying microalga Emiliania huxleyi.

While the resulting increases in pCO2 can have deleterious effects on calcifying animals, this change in carbonate chemistry may benefit some marine autotrophs.

Such changes in oceanic environmental conditions will have negative consequences for marine life and organisms producing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) structures are amongst the most vulnerable due to the additional costs associated with calcification and maintenance of calcified structures under more acidic conditions.

Some of the smaller calcifying organisms are important food sources for higher marine organisms.

Here we report reduced calcite production at increased CO2 concentrations in monospecific cultures of two dominant marine calcifying phytoplankton species, the coccolithophorids Emiliania huxleyi and Gephyrocapsa oceanica.

«More acidic waters make it difficult for corals and other calcifying organisms, such as animals with shells, to form their skeletons, which are ultimately responsible for building the physical structure of the reef,» says Australian Institute of Marine Science research scientist, Dr Janice Lough.»

Large - scale impacts on pteropods and other calcifying organisms that form the base of the marine food chain could distress populations of larger fish that feed on them, leading to significant economic impacts on the multi-billion dollar U.S. seafood industry.

Aragonite - A calcium carbonate (limestone) mineral, used by shell - or skeleton - forming, calcifying organisms such as corals (warm - and coldwater corals), some macroalgae, pteropods (marine snails) and non-pteropod molluscs such as bivalves (e.g., clams, oysters), cephalopods (e.g., squids, octopuses).
