We'll examine the results of the first full - scale study of how acidification affects marine ecosystems.

While anthropogenic CO2 emissions are driving acidification at global scales, processes occurring at local scales can also affect ocean chemistry.

In the past, ocean acidification occurred naturally but over much longer periods of time.

Here are three technological pursuits that scientists and engineers expect will improve ocean acidification monitoring.

By the way if we keep CO2 emission how can we process ocean acidification problem?

As for climate policy, one needs to consider the ecological and agricultural impacts of warming and ocean acidification if one expects to be taken seriously.

High organic matter content also helps to avoid soil acidification.

However, the link between these declines and ocean acidification through anthropogenic CO2 is unclear.

But I did not know (and it is very new science) that acidification also reduces a form of carbonate necessary for tiny ocean life to capture needed iron.

The evidence for evolutionary adaptation to ocean acidification comes mainly from two approaches.

As ocean acidification accelerates, it now poses a serious threat to the web of life underwater.

That's decidedly good news, but it comes with a catch: Rising levels of CO2 in the ocean promote acidification, which breaks down the calcium carbonate shells of some marine organisms.

Ultimately, though, whether corals will survive sea level rise or ocean acidification depends on how much the oceans change and how quickly.
