Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of carbon use strategies in a kelp forest community: implications for a high CO2 ocean
Christopher D. Hepburn,Daniel W. Pritchard,Christopher E. Cornwall,Rebecca J. McLeod,John Beardall,John A. Raven,Catriona L. Hurd +6 more
TL;DR: Increased growth and competitive ability of noncalcareous macroalgae alongside negative impacts of acidification on calcifying species could have major implications for the functioning of coastal reef systems at elevated CO2 concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental design in ocean acidification research: problems and solutions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide guidelines on how to design ocean acidification laboratory experiments that incorporate the rigorous requirements for monitoring and measuring carbonate chemistry with a level of replication that increases the chances of accurate detection of biological responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diurnal fluctuations in seawater pH influence the response of a calcifying macroalga to ocean acidification
Christopher E. Cornwall,Christopher D. Hepburn,Christina M. McGraw,Kim I. Currie,Conrad A. Pilditch,Keith A. Hunter,Philip W. Boyd,Catriona L. Hurd +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of mimicry of biologically mediated diurnal shifts in pH—based for the first time on pH time-series measurements within a kelp forest—would offset or amplify the negative effects of OA on calcifiers, finding growth rates were lower and fluctuations in pH acted additively to further reduce growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological responses to environmental heterogeneity under future ocean conditions.
Philip W. Boyd,Philip W. Boyd,Christopher E. Cornwall,Andrew Davison,Scott C. Doney,Marion Fourquez,Marion Fourquez,Catriona L. Hurd,Ivan D. Lima,Andrew McMinn,Andrew McMinn +10 more
TL;DR: The strategies used by biota to respond to shifts in environmental heterogeneity may be complex, as they will have to physiologically straddle wide-ranging timescales in the alteration of ocean conditions, including the need to adapt to rapidly rising CO2 and also acclimate to environmental heterogeneity in more slowly changing properties such as warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon-use strategies in macroalgae: differential responses to lowered ph and implications for ocean acidification(1).
Christopher E. Cornwall,Christopher D. Hepburn,Daniel W. Pritchard,Kim I. Currie,Christina M. McGraw,Keith A. Hunter,Catriona L. Hurd +6 more
TL;DR: Modeling of pH change due to carbon assimilation indicated that macroalgal species that could utilize HCO3− increased their use of CO2 in the pH 7.5 treatments compared to pH7.9 treatments, and so H CO3−‐‐using macroalgae may benefit in future seawater with elevated CO2.
