Highlights Three types (relief/aggravation/minor) of biological contribution to upwelling-induced acidification are quantitatively revealed at the east coast of Hainan Island. Behaviors of carbonate chemistry and dissolved oxygen in upwelled waters are distinct due to different biological mediation between the nearshore and offshore regimes. Aerobic respiration intensifies acidification in the subsurface of the nearshore area during […]
Instructions for Teachers The pages are set so that, when printed double sided, they have a back and front, enabling for easy sorting. Before you print the whole deck, test your settings by printing the first two pages of cards, to check alignment. If it doesn’t match, then its likely to do with how the […]
The main source of marine organic carbon (OC) is autotrophic production, while heterotrophic degradation is its main sink. Increased anthropogenic CO2 release leads to ocean acidification and is expected to alter phytoplankton community composition, primary production rates and bacterial degradation processes in the coming decades with potential consequences for dissolved and particulate OC concentration and composition. […]
Ocean acidification due to the absorption of 40% of the world’s anthropogenic CO2 emissions severely affects the faltering marine ecosystem and the economy. However, there are few reports on reducing CO2 dissolved in seawater. Herein, we introduce an electrochemical CO2 reduction battery system for use in seawater with a graphitic frustrated Lewis pair catalytic cathode doped with boron […]
