Rapid Progression of Ocean Acidification in the California Current System
Acidification Blues The increase in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide threatens the health of the ocean's ecosystems because of the resulting acidification of the ocean and the decrease in its carbonate saturation state. Gruber et al. (p. 220 , published online 14 June) used a reg...
