Coral reefs are in decline worldwide and monitoring activities are important for assessing
the impact of disturbance on reefs and tracking subsequent recovery or decline. Monitoring …

Ocean acidification (OA), a consequence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, poses
a serious threat to marine organisms in tropical, open-ocean, coastal, deep-sea, and high …

Over the next century, elevated quantities of atmospheric CO 2 are expected to penetrate
into the oceans, causing a reduction in pH (− 0.3/− 0.4 pH unit in the surface ocean) and in …

Global warming and increased atmospheric CO2 are causing the oceans to warm, decrease
in pH and become hypercapnic. These stressors have deleterious impacts on marine …

Anthropogenic CO2 emitted to the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans, causing a
progressive increase in ocean inorganic carbon concentrations and resulting in decreased …

Ocean acidification is an undisputed fact. The ocean presently takes up one-fourth of the
carbon CO2 emitted to the atmosphere from human activities. As this CO2 dissolves in the …

Climate change poses an urgent threat to biodiversity that demands societal responses. The
magnitude of this challenge is reflected in recent international commitments to protect 30 …

The persistence of most coastal marine species depends on larvae finding suitable adult
habitat at the end of an offshore dispersive stage that can last weeks or months. We tested …

Future ocean acidification has the potential to adversely affect many marine organisms. A
growing body of evidence suggests that many species could suffer from reduced fertilization …

CO 2 emissions arising from the burning of fossil fuels have altered seawater chemistry far
more rapidly than the Earth has previously experienced, and the rate and extent of this …
