The Arctic Ocean is particularly susceptible to ocean acidification (OA) compared to other oceans, as the cold surface water with relatively low salinity promotes high carbon dioxide (CO2) solubility. Sea-ice microorganisms are a vital part of polar ecosystems, and experience more extreme concentrat...
