Ocean acidification and its consequences upon the environment - Ocean Acidification

Ocean acidification describes the decline in pH of marine environments as the continue to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2). Research over the past ~15 years has reported the levels of ocean acidification forecasted for the end of the century (CO2 ~800-1000 µatm; pH ~7.6-7.7) This process alters the chemical balance of seawater, leading to significant ecological […] The post Ocean acidification and its consequences upon the environment appeared first …
