CO2 / pCO2

Carbon dioxide partial pressure and vitamin B12 interactively influenced growth, carbon fixation, trace metal requirements, and trace metal net use efficiencies of the subarctic [...]

Between 1959 and 2008, 43 percent of each year’s carbon dioxide emissions remained in the atmosphere on average. The rest was absorbed by carbon sinks on land and in the ocean.

Some copepods (Calanus species) in the Arctic routinely encounter a range of seawater pH levels each day as they migrate vertically in the ocean; they were not severely affected when exposed [...]

When pre-winter juvenile pteropods were cultured at a range of warmer temperatures and ocean acidification levels for 29 days, temperature was the overriding cause of increased mortality. [...]

Exposure of juvenile green seaweed to ocean acidification conditions for 80 days affected their ability to photosynthesize. (Laboratory study)

Four species of intertidal brown seaweeds increased their uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) as ambient CO2 concentration increased, while one other species did not. The amount of increased CO2 [...]

Four species of pteropods from the tropical Pacific Ocean that naturally migrate into low-oxygen waters were not adversely affected when grown under ocean acidification conditions. However, [...]

Intracellular concentration of DMSP remained unaffected in two macroalgae species (Ulva lactuca and U. clathrata) under ocean acidification conditions, but significant differences in [...]

Deep-water prawns (Pandalus borealis) exposed to severely acidified seawater (pH 6.86) for 16 days were able to compensate by accumulate buffering bicarbonate ions at levels comparable to those [...]

This study used two methods to estimate the exchange of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and ocean.
