BACKGROUND Although the ocean moderates anthropogenic climate change, this has
great impacts on its fundamental physics and chemistry, with important consequences for …

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 …

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 …

Human inputs of nutrients to coastal waters can lead to the excessive production of algae, a
process known as eutrophication. Microbial consumption of this organic matter lowers …

Ocean acidification due to anthropogenic CO 2 emissions is a dominant driver of long-term
changes in pH in the open ocean, raising concern for the future of calcifying organisms …

We have estimated global air–sea CO 2 fluxes (fg CO 2) from the open ocean to coastal
seas. Fluxes and associated uncertainty are computed from an ensemble-based …

Streams, rivers, lakes, and other inland waters are important agents in the coupling of
biogeochemical cycles between continents, atmosphere, and oceans. The depiction of these …

A synthesis of long-term changes in pH of coastal ecosystems shows that, in contrast to the
uniform trends of open-ocean acidification (− 0.0004 to− 0.0026 pH units yr–1) driven by …

Nutrient fluxes to coastal areas have risen in recent decades, leading to widespread hypoxia
and other ecological damage, particularly from nitrogen (N). Several factors make N more …

Puget Sound is a large estuary complex in the US Pacific Northwest that is home to a
diverse and economically important ecosystem threatened by anthropogenic impacts …
