Effects of CO2 Enrichment on Marine Phytoplankton
Rising atmospheric CO2 and deliberate CO2 sequestration in the ocean change seawater carbonate chemistry in a similar way, lowering seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration and carbonate saturation state and increasing dissolved CO2 concentration. These changes affect marine plankton in various ways. On the organismal level, a moderate increase in CO2 facilitates photosynthetic carbon fixation ...
متن کاملOxygen Isotopes in Foraminifera: Overview and Historical Review
—Foraminiferal tests are a common component of many marine sediments. The oxygen isotope ratio (δ18O) of test calcite is frequently used to reconstruct aspects of their life environment. The δ18O depends mainly on the isotope ratio of the water it is precipitated from, the temperature of calcification, and, to a lesser extent, the carbonate ion concentration. Foraminifera and other organisms ca...
متن کاملPII S 0016 - 7037 ( 01 ) 00852 - 3 Comparison of two potential strategies of planktonic foraminifera for house building : Mg 2 or H removal ?
Marine organisms must possess strategies enabling them to initiate calcite precipitation despite the unfavorable conditions for inorganic precipitation in surface seawater. These strategies are poorly understood. Here we compare two potential strategies of marine calcifyers to manipulate seawater chemistry in order to initiate calcite precipitation: Removal of Mg and H ions from seawater soluti...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Late Pleistocene Glacial–Interglacial related shell size isotope variability in planktonic foraminifera as a function of local hydrology” by B. Metcalfe et al
Referee 1 raises the issue of the effects/influences of the ‘carbonate ion effect, temperature and dissolution’ of foraminiferal d18O and d13C and asks (Page 148, line 25-26.) ‘..is a progressive enrichment in 13C for increasing size.’ Could this observation be due to changing sea water temperature of carbonate ion concentration during TIII? The authors response is very appropriate and I sugges...
متن کاملThe effect of carbonate chemistry on calcification and photosynthesis in the hermatypic coral Acropora eurystoma
The rise in atmospheric CO2 has caused significant decrease in sea surface pH and carbonate ion (CO 22 3 ) concentration. This decrease has a negative effect on calcification in hermatypic corals and other calcifying organisms. We report the results of three laboratory experiments designed specifically to separate the effects of the different carbonate chemistry parameters (pH, CO 22 3 , CO2 [a...
