Then focusing on tropical and coral reef marine molluscs, including giant clams, I will
discuss effects of ocean acidification on ecologically - relevant characteristics including very recent findings demonstrating impacts on behaviour.
In addition to rising temperatures, the report
discussed a variety
of «other possible
effects of an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide», including melting
of the Antarctic ice cap, rise
of sea level, warming
of sea water, increased acidity
of fresh waters (which also applies to the danger
of ocean acidification, global warming's evil twin), and an increase in plant photosynthesis.
