This new concept of anthropogenic impacts on seawater pH formulated here accommodates the broad range of mechanisms involved in the anthropogenic forcing of pH in coastal ecosystems, including changes in land use, nutrient inputs, ecosystem structure and net metabolism, and emissions of gases to the atmosphere affecting the carbon system and associated pH. The new paradigm is applicable across marine systems, from open - ocean and ocean - dominated coastal systems, where OA by anthropogenic CO2 is the dominant mechanism of anthropogenic impacts on marine pH, to coastal ecosystems where a range of natural and anthropogenic processes may operate to affect pH.

Calculations to resolve the anthropogenic component of CO2 are remarkably difficult for the coastal ocean, where the assumptions of the various methods (Sabine and Tanhua 2010) are not met, thereby precluding a direct calculation of the effect of anthropogenic CO2 on observed trends in coastal pH. Calculations based on mixing between an open - ocean end - member displaying the trajectories predicted from OA and the freshwater end - member are also unreliable because pH and the carbon system do not necessarily behave conservatively within the coastal zone and because the freshwater end - member may also shift into the future.
