Sentences with phrase «negative effects of ocean acidification»

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.

While the threat of coral bleaching as a result of climate change poses a serious risk to the future of coral reefs world wide, new research has found that some baby corals may be able to cope with the negative effects of ocean acidification.

A recent meta - analysis indicated a significant negative effect of ocean acidification on calcifying and non-calcifying echinoderm larvae (n = 26 studies)[63].

Not exact matches

According to a study conducted by marine biologists of GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and Rostock University within the German research network BIOACID (Biological Impacts of Ocean Acidification), eutrophication — that is already known for its negative effects — and rising seawater temperatures could lead to a decline of the bladder wrack in the Baltic Sea.

While we might HOPE FOR THE BEST — that there will be a cooling trend (less sun irradiance, etc) to exactly counteract our AGW trend (even so there is the negative effects of CO2, even without the warming — ocean acidification, crop loss to weed, etc)-- we should then be trying to AVERT THE WORST with even more drastic GHG cuts.

Meta - analysis reveals negative yet variable effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms

In these studies, the smaller size of larvae reared in ocean acidification conditions indicates an overall negative effect on calcification (table 1 and figure 2).

Secondly, it needs to be recognized that management of non-climatic stressors that interact and reinforce the negative effects of warming and ocean acidification can go some way in mitigating the effects of climate change at the local level.

In addition to changing larval size and form, ocean acidification has a negative effect on survivorship of echinoplutei, with a 10 — 20 % increase in mortality at pCO2 1000 + µatm [42].

Ocean acidification is accompanied by reduced availability of carbonate minerals, with negative effects on skeletogenesis, and by increased pCO2 that causes hypercapnia (increased organism pCO2) and altered metabolism [10 — 12].

Ocean acidification is often considered in terms of its direct negative effects on the growth and calcification of organisms with calcareous shells or skeletons.
