Elevated pCO2 is less detrimental than increased temperature to early development of the giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera (Phaeophyceae, Laminariales)

  August 7, 2017   Global climate change is increasing ocean temperature and partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in coastal and marine ecosystems. Research in this field has largely focused on how limited CO32− availability and low pH adversely affect early development of calcifying organisms, but noncalcareous organisms are comparatively
