Could artificial ocean alkalinization protect tropical coral ecosystems from ocean acidification?
Artificial ocean alkalinization (AOA) is investigated as amethod tomitigate local ocean acidification and protect tropical coral ecosystems during a 21st century highCO2 emission scenario. Employing an Earth systemmodel of intermediate complexity, our implementation of AOA in theGreat Barrier Reef, Caribbean Sea and SouthChina Sea regions, shows that alkalinization has the potential to countera...

متن کاملPlasticity of coral physiology under ocean acidification
Coral reefs are oases of life in the oceans, harbouring more than a quarter of all marine species. These vibrant ecosystems are founded on reef structures that are built by the CaCO3 skeletons of “stony” scleractinian corals. While productive and biodiverse, coral reef ecosystems are sensitive to many elements of global environmental change, including “ocean acidification” which impairs the cap...
متن کاملCoral Carbonic Anhydrases: Regulation by Ocean Acidification
Global change is a major threat to the oceans, as it implies temperature increase and acidification. Ocean acidification (OA) involving decreasing pH and changes in seawater carbonate chemistry challenges the capacity of corals to form their skeletons. Despite the large number of studies that have investigated how rates of calcification respond to ocean acidification scenarios, comparatively fe...
