Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Coralline Algae : From Species to Community Consequences

Creator:

Shen, Chenchen

Abstract:

Oceanic uptake of rising anthropogenic CO₂ emissions has caused the emergence of ocean acidification as a major threat to marine ecosystems worldwide. Along eastern boundary current systems, seawater is naturally acidified due to coastal upwelling of low pH seawater from depth. Compounded by ocean acidification, upwelling regions are expected to...

Characterizing the response of coralline algae to ocean acidification and nutrient changes in the California Current system

Creator:

Letzing, Sandy

Abstract:

Ocean acidification (OA) has emerged as an important focus of research and policy in this decade. Ocean acidification specifically refers to changes in the inorganic carbon system in the ocean resulting from its absorption of human-released CO₂ from the atmosphere. Anthropogenic atmospheric CO₂ levels are rapidly increasing; much of this...

The roles of nutrient dynamics, oceanography, and light in the structure and functioning of rocky intertidal macrophyte assemblages

Creator:

Close, Sarah L.

Abstract:

The influence of the physical environment on organisms has long been a subject of ecological research. But, the complex drivers of environmental variation, and the multiple scales at which this can occur, make studying this topic a difficult challenge. In rocky intertidal habitats, oceanographic- and climate-scale variability influence benthic communities...
