Not exact matches

The carbon they produce when building their chalk plates even helps buffer the increasing acidity in the ocean caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

In a report published in Science in July, British and American researchers showed that when rats inhale excess carbon dioxide, astrocytes in the brain stem sense the resulting increase in blood acidity.

These processes affect the transport of water, heat, salinity, nutrients and carbon in the ocean, impacting on the climate system by modifying it's ability to absorb human - emitted carbon dioxide and excess heat resulting from increased carbon dioxide concentrations.

in response to the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide, the excess of precipitation over evaporation increases, and surface salinity is reduced in high latitudes as noted in section 8.

An increase in net energy input to the ITCZ in a perturbed climate (via reduced outgoing longwave radiation due to increased carbon dioxide concentrations, for example) means that, for energetic balance, the circulation and vertical velocity in the ITCZ must strengthen in order to export the excess energy (assuming the gross moist stability in the ITCZ is positive and constant).

While some analysts believe that excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in fact will benefit crops, citing laboratory studies that show a yield increase of 30 percent, Cline counters that farm field studies have demonstrated that benefits from so - called «carbon fertilization» is closer to 15 percent and eventually leveling out.
