Since you state that a decrease in net calcification could result from a decrease in gross calcification, an increase in dissolution rates, or both, you distinguish between these responses and get to the conclusion that the impact of ocean acidification on a creature's net calcification may be largely controlled by the status of its protective organic cover and that the net slowdown in skeletal growth under increased CO2 occurs not because these organisms are unable to calcify, but rather because their unprotected skeleton is dissolving faster.

About BIOACID: Since 2009, more than 250 BIOACID scientists from 20 German research institutes have investigated how different marine organisms respond to ocean acidification and increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in seawater, how their performance is affected during their various life stages, how these reactions impact marine food webs and elemental cycles and whether they can be mitigated by evolutionary adaptation.

Despite its climate - centric name and mission, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been focusing increasing attention on direct ocean impacts of carbon dioxide, most notably in an excellent 2011 report, «IPCC Workshop on Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Marine Biology and Ecosystems.&rocean impacts of carbon dioxide, most notably in an excellent 2011 report, «IPCC Workshop on Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Marine Biology and Ecosystems.impacts of carbon dioxide, most notably in an excellent 2011 report, «IPCC Workshop on Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Marine Biology and Ecosystems.Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Marine Biology and Ecosystems.&rOcean Acidification on Marine Biology and Ecosystems.»

Building a better future can only be accomplished by facing up to the impacts that increasing CO2 emissions are having on the climate, on sea level, and on ocean acidification.

In fact it is a very risky target for all of us: so far, temperatures have increased by just.8 degree Celsius and we are already experiencing many alarming impacts, including the unprecedented melting of the Greenland ice sheet in the summer of 2012 and the acidification of oceans far more rapidly than expected.

It also ignores the other adverse impacts of increasing CO2, like ocean acidification.

Some of which include more variable weather, increasing sea ice melt, rising sea levels and ocean waters with more CO2, also called ocean acidification, which can harm ecosystems and has an impact on coral reefs.

This additional alkalinity could partially buffer changes in seawater pH associated with increasing atmospheric CO2 locally, thus reducing the impact of ocean acidification on coral growth.»

A key uncertainty is what the actual impacts of rising temperatures and changing ocean chemistry, including an increase in ocean acidification, will be on a broad range of marine biota and ecosystems.

«The impacts of climate change — including an increase in prolonged periods of excessively high temperatures, more heavy downpours, an increase in wildfires, more severe droughts, permafrost thawing, ocean acidification and sea - level rise — are already affecting communities, natural resources, ecosystems, economies and public health across the Nation,» reads an executive order signed this morning by President Obama.
