Posted on OA: 19 Feb 2014 Changing atmospheric composition due to human activities, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel burning, is already impacting ocean circulation, biogeochemistry, and ecology, and model projections indicate that observed trends will continue or even accelerate over this century. Elevated atmospheric CO2 alters Earth’s radiative

Direct impacts of near-future ocean acidification on sea urchins
Posted on OA: 18 Feb 2014 Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are acidifying the world’s oceans. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that this ocean acidification can impact survival, growth, development and physiology in marine invertebrates. A few years ago, a global analysis of the literature revealed that echinoderms were surprisingly robust
