Food supply and seawater pCO2 impact calcification and internal shell dissolution in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis
Posted on EPOCA: 20 Sep 2011 Progressive ocean acidification due to anthropogenic CO2 emissions will alter marine ecosytem processes. Calcifying organisms might be particularly vulnerable to these alterations in the speciation of the marine carbonate system. While previous research efforts have mainly focused on external dissolution of shells in seawater under
Man and the last great wilderness: Human impact on the deep sea
Posted on EPOCA: 20 Sep 2011 The deep sea, the largest ecosystem on Earth and one of the least studied, harbours high biodiversity and provides a wealth of resources. Although humans have used the oceans for millennia, technological developments now allow exploitation of fisheries resources, hydrocarbons and minerals below 2000

Ocean acidification: knowns, unknowns and perspectives
Posted on EPOCA: 15 Sep 2011 The levels of evidence, agreement and confidence of the consequences of ocean acidification are estimated on 15 key issues. The effects on the past, present and future carbonate chemistry are known with a high degree of certainty. Most biological and ecological effects are much
