Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change and ocean acidification effects on seagrasses and marine macroalgae
TL;DR: Photosynthetic and growth rates of marine macro-autotrophs are likely to increase under elevated [CO2 ] similar to terrestrial C3 species, and fluxes control micro-environments that promote calcification over dissolution and may be more important than CaCO3 mineralogy in predicting macroalgal responses to OA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Algal evolution in relation to atmospheric CO2: carboxylases, carbon-concentrating mechanisms and carbon oxidation cycles
TL;DR: Oxygenic photosynthesis evolved at least 2.4 Ga; all oxygenic organisms use the ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco)–photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle (PCRC) rather than one of the five other known pathways of autotrophic CO2 assimilation.

Changes in pH at the exterior surface of plankton with ocean acidification
Kevin J. Flynn,Jerry Blackford,Mark E. Baird,John A. Raven,Darren R. Clark,John Beardall,Colin Brownlee,Heiner Fabian,Glen L. Wheeler +8 more
TL;DR: Using simulations, it is demonstrated how pH and carbonate chemistry at the exterior surface of marine organisms deviates increasingly from those of the bulk sea water as organism metabolic activity and size increases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperate and tropical brown macroalgae thrive, despite decalcification, along natural CO2 gradients
Vivienne R. Johnson,Vivienne R. Johnson,Bayden D. Russell,Katharina E. Fabricius,Colin Brownlee,Jason M. Hall-Spencer +5 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to provide a comparison of ecological changes along CO2 gradients between temperate and tropical rocky shores and the similarities found in the responses of Padina spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecophysiology of photosynthesis in macroalgae.
TL;DR: The impact of global environmental change on marine macroalgae mainly relates to ocean acidification and warming with shoaling of the thermocline and decreased nutrient flux to the upper mixed layer.

The meta-analysis of response ratios in experimental ecology
TL;DR: The approximate sampling distribution of the log response ratio is given, why it is a particularly useful metric for many applications in ecology, and how to use it in meta-analysis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean Acidification: The Other CO 2 Problem
TL;DR: The potential for marine organisms to adapt to increasing CO2 and broader implications for ocean ecosystems are not well known; both are high priorities for future research as mentioned in this paper, and both are only imperfect analogs to current conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta‐analysis reveals negative yet variable effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms
TL;DR: The analyses suggest that the biological effects of ocean acidification are generally large and negative, but the variation in sensitivity amongst organisms has important implications for ecosystem responses.

Volcanic carbon dioxide vents show ecosystem effects of ocean acidification
Jason M. Hall-Spencer,Riccardo Rodolfo-Metalpa,Sophie Martin,Emma Ransome,Maoz Fine,Suzanne M. Turner,Sonia J. Rowley,Dario Tedesco,Maria Cristina Buia +8 more
TL;DR: The species populating the vent sites comprise a suite of organisms that are resilient to naturally high concentrations of pCO2 and indicate that ocean acidification may benefit highly invasive non-native algal species.
