The extent of the ocean acidification is indicated by the pH of the water.

Not exact matches

«We don't yet know the extent to which ocean acidification could alter these additional predator - prey interactions, but there is clear potential for broader disruption of links within shoreline food webs.»

Even after more than two thousand generations under acidified conditions, these responses still prevail to some extent, suggesting that evolutionary adaptation may not be able to completely eliminate the negative effects of ocean acidification.

In an unprecedented evolutionary experiment, scientists from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and the Thünen Institute of Fisheries Ecology demonstrated that the most important single - celled calcifying alga of world's oceans, Emiliania huxleyi, is only able to adapt to ocean acidification to a certain exOcean Research Kiel and the Thünen Institute of Fisheries Ecology demonstrated that the most important single - celled calcifying alga of world's oceans, Emiliania huxleyi, is only able to adapt to ocean acidification to a certain exocean acidification to a certain extent.

-- To the maximum extent practicable and consistent with applicable law, every natural resource management decision made by the department or agency shall consider the impacts of climate change and ocean acidification on those natural resources.

The continued reduction in the extent of sea ice in the Arctic is expected to lead to increased photosynthetic primary production and POC flux there (Jones et al., 2014), which could benefit fauna whose energetic demands increase as a result of ocean acidification (e.g., calcifying taxa).

His question now is whether and to what extent do Atlantic and Polar cod compete with each other and to what extent an increasing acidification of the ocean influences any rivalry.

Among them, to you Leonard, are: what do you think constitutes «small AGW» and catastrophic AGW, and to what extent have you reviewed the biological / ecological literature that address the ecosystem's functional sensitivity of different warming levels (sufficient CO2 - driven ocean acidification alone likely qualifies as «catastrophic» — or are you separating warming from the other effects of high CO2?)

There are no radical departures in this report from the previous assessment, published in 2007; just a great deal more evidence demonstrating the extent of global temperature rises, the melting of ice sheets and sea ice, the retreat of the glaciers, the rising and acidification of the oceans and the changes in weather patterns (3).

which is why you will see an increased trend in arctic ice extent over the next 20 years plus, along with net cooling of the northern hemisphere, though by your account of the oceans sequestration of CO2, ocean acidification will go through the roof at the same time.

The Statement also highlighted that long - term indicators of climate change such as increasing carbon dioxide concentrations, sea level rise and ocean acidification continue «unabated», with Arctic sea ice coverage remaining below average and the previously stable Antarctic sea ice extent at or near a record low.
