pelagic key species to investigate their performance and acclimation capacity with regards to (anthropogenic) environmental change and to understand the role of these species in biogeochemical cycles. We

bottom waters of the Weddell Sea, reveal a steady CO 2 increase of anthropogenic origin, as surface water charged with anthropogenic CO 2 is a major component in the formation of WSBW (Van Heuven et al [...] al. 2011). The findings reflect the deep-sea sequestration of anthropogenic CO 2 , thus contributing to diminishing the burden of excess CO 2 in the atmosphere. The largest increase of CO 2 is found in [...] in the surface layer (Van Heuven et al. 2014). Here, uptake of excess CO 2 , i.e. anthropogenic CO 2 , from the atmosphere has obviously occurred. Somewhat surprisingly, steady state tracer oxygen shows
