... The impacts of these
changes on oceanic
ecosystems and the services they provide, for example in fisheries,
coastal protection, tourism, carbon sequestration and climate regulation, can not yet be estimated accurately but they are potentially large.
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.
This new concept of anthropogenic impacts
on seawater pH formulated here accommodates the broad range of mechanisms involved in the anthropogenic forcing of pH in
coastal ecosystems, including
changes in land use, nutrient inputs,
ecosystem structure and net metabolism, and emissions of gases to the atmosphere affecting the carbon system and associated pH. The new paradigm is applicable across marine systems, from open - ocean and ocean - dominated
coastal systems, where OA by anthropogenic CO2 is the dominant mechanism of anthropogenic impacts
on marine pH, to
coastal ecosystems where a range of natural and anthropogenic processes may operate to affect pH.
We propose here a new paradigm of anthropogenic impacts
on seawater pH. This new paradigm provides a canonical approach towards integrating the multiple components of anthropogenic forcing that lead to
changes in
coastal pH. We believe that this paradigm, whilst accommodating that of OA by anthropogenic CO2, avoids the limitations the current OA paradigm faces to account for the dynamics of
coastal ecosystems, where some
ecosystems are not showing any acidification or basification trend whilst others show a much steeper acidification than expected for reasons entirely different from anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
Whereas detection of OA by anthropogenic CO2 has been achieved in open - ocean time series, we contend that it has not yet been achieved reliably in
coastal ecosystems and that attribution of observed
changes in vulnerable organisms to OA has been confounded in the past by failure to acknowledge the different components of anthropogenic impacts
on pH possibly involved.
