Ocean acidification (OA) is expected to alter plankton community structure in the future ocean. This, in turn, could change the composition of sinking organic matter and the efficiency of the biological carbon pump. So far, most OA experiments involving entire plankton communities have been conducted in meso- to eutrophic environments. However, recent studies suggest that […]
The extended multiple linear regression (eMLR) technique is used to determine changes in anthropogenic carbon in the intermediate layers of the Eurasian Basin based on occupations from four cruises between 1996 and 2015. The results show a significant increase in basin‐wide anthropogenic carbon storage in the Nansen Basin (0.44‐0.73 ± 0.14 mol C m−2 yr−1) […]
Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), primarily from human fossil fuel combustion and cement production, are resulting in increasing absorption of CO2 by the oceans, which has led to a decline in ocean pH in a process known as ocean acidification (OA). There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating the potential effect of OA on […]
‘Ocean acidification and other climate stressors in high-latitude systems’ – workshop/session at the ESSAS (Ecosystem Studies of Subarctic and Arctic Seas) 2018 Annual Science Meeting, Fairbanks, Alaska, 12 – 14 June 2018. Co-chairs: Samuel Rastrick, Kumiko Azetsu-Scott The aim of the session is to highlight research on all aspects of acidification and climate change in […]
Highlights • In a future scenario, attenuation by DOM outcompetes its physico-chemical role. • Global change conditions will favor growth and photosynthesis of nanoplankton. • Global change favors growth and photosynthesis of nano- as compared to microplankton. Abstract We evaluated the dual role of DOM (i.e., as a source of inorganic nutrients and as an […]
