Before the industrial revolution, the atmospheric CO 2 concentration was 180–330 ppm;
however, fossil-fuel combustion and forest destruction have led to increased atmospheric …

Ocean acidification (OA) has been identified as one of the major climate-change related
threats, mainly due to its significant impacts on marine calcifiers. Among those are the …

While there is growing interest in understanding how marine life will respond to future ocean
acidification, many coastal ecosystems currently experience intense acidification in …

Macroalgae are the major habitat-forming organisms in many coastal temperate and
subtropical marine systems. Although climate change has been identified as a major threat …

The singular and interactive effects of ocean acidification and temperature on the physiology
of calcified green algae (Halimeda incrassata, H. opuntia, and H. simulans) were …

Sargassum muticum, an invasive seaweed, has colonized many parts of the world along the
coast. Marine environment invaded by this species is aggravated the complexity by CO 2 …

Ocean acidification increases the amount of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) available in
seawater which can benefit photosynthesis in those algae that are currently carbon limited …

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) released by macroalgae is important in the context of coral
reef degradation as it contributes to coral mortality by promoting bacterial metabolism on the …

Many coral reefs have phase shifted from coral to macroalgal dominance. Ocean
acidification (OA) due to elevated CO2 is hypothesised to advantage macroalgae over …

The stable maintenance of high biological diversity remains a major puzzle in biology. We
propose a new mechanism involving the cyclical use of Competitive, Stress-tolerant, and …
