The near-term progression of ocean acidification (OA) is projected to bring about sharp changes in the chemistry of coastal upwelling ecosystems. The distribution of OA exposure across these early-impact systems, however, is highly uncertain and limits our understanding of whether and how spatial management actions can be deployed to ameliorate...
The California Current Large Marine Ecosystem
(CCLME), a temperate marine region dominated by episodic
upwelling, is predicted to experience rapid environmental
change in the future due to ocean acidification. The aragonite
saturation state within the California Current System is
predicted to decrease in the future with near-permanent undersaturation
conditions expected...
