Seagrass meadows are an important organic matter (OM) reservoir but, are currently being lost due to global and regional stressors. Yet, there is limited research investigating the cumulative impacts of anthropogenic stressors on the structure and functioning of seagrass benthic assemblages, key drivers of OM mineralization and burial. Here, using a 16‐month field experiment, we […]
Ocean acidification (OA) is the result of increasing concentrations of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, leading to a suite of alterations to specific parameters of ocean chemistry, which can negatively impact many marine organisms and ecosystems. Understanding how to measure and monitor the chemistry of OA will require specialized education and training, which may be […]
Highlights • Sargassum horneri was benefit from moderately elevated temperature. • S. horneri showed insensitive to CO2 enrichment. • Elevated temperature rather than CO2 enrichment will enhance S. horneri bloom. Abstract The golden tide, caused by the brown algae Sargassum horneri, exerts severe influences on the Pyropia aquaculture of Jiangsu coast, China. To study the […]
Ocean acidification (OA), defined as the reduction in the pH of global oceans, is predicted to have negative impacts on marine invertebrates. Within the past two decades there have been hundreds of studies on the effects of OA on the fitness, survival, and growth of many marine organisms, and yet there are several large gaps […]
Highlights • The fabricated pH meter on a microfluidic platform is simple and easy to manufacture and utilizes fluorescence intensity of a dye indicator. • A single dye indicator (HPTS) is used as the fluorescence dye indicator. • The fabricated device has a wide detecting range between pHs of 2.5 – 9. Abstract A fluorescence-based […]
