Alkalinity, the excess of proton acceptors over donors, plays a major role in ocean chemistry,
in buffering and in calcium carbonate precipitation and dissolution. Understanding alkalinity …

Oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere has changed
ocean biogeochemistry and threatened the health of organisms through a process known as …

Syntheses of carbonate chemistry spatial patterns are important for predicting ocean
acidification impacts, but are lacking in coastal oceans. Here, we show that along the North …

The combined effects of anthropogenic and biological CO2 inputs may lead to more rapid
acidification in coastal waters compared to the open ocean. It is less clear, however, how …

Seasonal oxygen depletion (hypoxia) in coastal bottom waters can lead to the release and
persistence of free sulfide (euxinia), which is highly detrimental to marine life. Although …

Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for life. The release of phosphorus from sediments is
critical in sustaining phytoplankton growth in many aquatic systems and is pivotal to …

Abstract The Bohai Sea to the west of the North Yellow Sea in the Northwest Pacific is a
semienclosed shallow‐water marginal sea on a critical path of eutrophication and …

Methane (CH4) is a key greenhouse gas. Coastal areas account for a major proportion of
marine CH4 emissions. Eutrophication and associated bottom water hypoxia enhance CH4 …

The study of acidification in Chesapeake Bay is challenged by the complex spatial and
temporal patterns of estuarine carbonate chemistry driven by highly variable freshwater and …

The production of methane in coastal sediments and its release to the water column is
intensified by anthropogenic eutrophication and bottom water hypoxia, and it is still …
