Ocean acidification threatens organisms that produce calcium carbonate shells by potentially generating an under-saturated carbonate environment. Resultant reduced calcification and growth, and subsequent dissolution of exoskeletons, would raise concerns over the ability of the shell to provide protection for the marine organism under ocean acidification and increased temperatures. We examined ...

This investigation was designed to examine whether or not deionized water could be acidified by roots of intact rice seedlings. Roots of intact rice seedlings caused significant acidification of the deionized water in which they were immersed and this acidification could be repeated after replacement of acidified water with fresh deionized water. The addition of K, Na, and Mg* to the deionized ...

Atmospheric pCO2 is predicted to rise from 400 to 900 ppm by year 2100, causing seawater temperature to increase by 1-4 °C and pH to decrease by 0.1-0.3. Sixty-day experiments were conducted to investigate the independent and combined impacts of acidification (pCO2 = 424-426, 888-940 ppm-v) and warming (T = 28, 32 °C) on calcification rate and skeletal morphology of the abundant and widespread ...

pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (pci) is a rare condition charachterized by the presence of multiple gases filled cysts in the gastro intestinal tract. in this article we present three cases with different features, who at the end evaluation pci was diagnosed. the first patient present with rectorrhagia (submucosal pci). the second patient present with dyspepsia (subserosal intestinal pci) a...

The aim of this research was to investigate the environmental impacts of olive fruit production under different orchard size and upon organic and common agro-systems through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology in Rudbar region, Guilan province, northern Iran. The data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire and face-to-face interview with 305 olive growers in the study region. ...

Acidification of soils and surface waters caused by acid deposition is still a major problem in southern Scandinavia, despite clear signs of recovery. Besides emission control, liming of lakes, streams, and wetlands is currently used to ameliorate acidification in Sweden. An alternative strategy is forest soil liming to restore the acidified upland soils from which much acidified runoff origina...
