Interactive comment on “Effect of Ocean acidification on growth, calcification and recruitment of calcifying and non-calcifying epibionts of brown algae” by V. Saderne and M. Wahl

چکیده
The paper by Saderne & Wahl addresses an interesting question of how calcifying and non-calcifying epibionts respond to ocean acidification (OA) and results are interesting as they show divergent responses to OA. However, the manuscript needs some major revisions and re-shaping is needed that should be more to the point of what can really be addressed and answered with the experiments and the analyses carried out.

structed an experiment that tested the influences of OA on epifauna. The data on light vs. dark influences on calcification rate are interesting and there could be potential to develop this and the rest of the data provided into a good paper but the manuscript requires much more fine-tuning. This manuscript is difficult to follow, there are grammatical issues and doesn’t flow well. I think a ca...
متن کاملDifferential Responses of Calcifying and Non-Calcifying Epibionts of a Brown Macroalga to Present-Day and Future Upwelling pCO2
Seaweeds are key species of the Baltic Sea benthic ecosystems. They are the substratum of numerous fouling epibionts like bryozoans and tubeworms. Several of these epibionts bear calcified structures and could be impacted by the high pCO2 events of the late summer upwellings in the Baltic nearshores. Those events are expected to increase in strength and duration with global change and ocean aci...
متن کاملCascading Effects of Ocean Acidification in a Rocky Subtidal Community
Temperate marine rocky habitats may be alternatively characterized by well vegetated macroalgal assemblages or barren grounds, as a consequence of direct and indirect human impacts (e.g. overfishing) and grazing pressure by herbivorous organisms. In future scenarios of ocean acidification, calcifying organisms are expected to be less competitive: among these two key elements of the rocky subtid...
متن کاملGene expression changes in the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi after 500 generations of selection to ocean acidification.
Coccolithophores are unicellular marine algae that produce biogenic calcite scales and substantially contribute to marine primary production and carbon export to the deep ocean. Ongoing ocean acidification particularly impairs calcifying organisms, mostly resulting in decreased growth and calcification. Recent studies revealed that the immediate physiological response in the coccolithophore Emi...
