Posted on OA: 18 Nov 2015 New NOAA-led research maps the distribution of aragonite saturation state in both surface and subsurface waters of the global ocean and provides further evidence that ocean acidification is happening on a global scale. The study identifies the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, and the upwelling

Recent advances in understanding trans-epithelial acid-base regulation and excretion mechanisms in cephalopods
Posted on OA: 18 Nov 2015 Cephalopods have evolved complex sensory systems and an active lifestyle to compete with fish for similar resources in the marine environment. Their highly active lifestyle and their extensive protein metabolism has led to substantial acid-base regulatory abilities enabling these organisms to cope with CO2
Variability in carbon availability and eelgrass (Zostera marina) biometrics along an estuarine gradient in Willapa Bay, WA, USA
Posted on OA: 4 Nov 2015 — Ruesink J. L., Yang S. & Trimble A. C., 2015. Estuaries and Coasts 38(6):1908-1917. Article (subscription required). Because photosynthesis requires CO2, carbon limitation in aquatic environments could restrict primary production and provide signals in tissue chemistry. We took advantage of spatial variability of
