Posted on OA: 23 Oct 2015 Ocean acidification is a predictable consequence of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), and is highly likely to impact the entire marine ecosystem – from plankton at the base of the food chain to fish at the top. Factors which are expected to be impacted

New research maps areas most vulnerable to ocean acidification
Posted on Eureka Alert/AAAS: 13 Oct 2015 — NOAA Headquarters Public Release This map shows the global distribution of aragonite saturation at 50 meters depth. The graphic shows areas that are most vulnerable to ocean acidification since they are regions where the saturation of aragonite is lower. Aragonite is a
