• Ocean acidification stimulates mass development of toxic algae

    New Study
    If carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere and thereby in the ocean continue to rise, this could favour the mass development of toxic algae, with far-reaching consequences for the

Besides water temperature increase, expanding ocean acidification will pose another threat to pelagic and benthic life in the Arctic Ocean (e.g. Bates et al., 2009; Lischka & Riebesell, 2012; AMAP [...] Changing Arctic Ocean) focusses on the plankton community and the microbial processes relevant for biogeochemical cycles of the Arctic Ocean. This research focus is acknowledging that the Arctic Ocean has gained [...] In addition, the chemical equilibrium and the elemental cycling in the surface ocean will alter due to ocean acidification.
