Whereas these effects on open - ocean pH are calculated to be minor, they can be higher, at rates of 0.02 — 0.12 × 10 − 3 pH units per year (< 10 % of OA by anthropogenic CO2), in coastal ecosystems (Doney et al. 2007),
where atmospheric deposition is intense and the waters can be more weakly buffered.
Not exact matches
Perhaps unsurprisingly, these effects were amplified in areas
where atmospheric sulfate
deposition had been experimentally elevated to begin with.
Data will be analyzed to determine,
where possible, baseline conditions to which changes in
atmospheric deposition as well as chemical and biological changes can be detected and explained.
