Free-ocean CO2 enrichment (FOCE) systems: Present status and future developments
Jean-Pierre Gattuso et al. Free-ocean CO2 enrichment (FOCE) systems are designed to assess the impact of ocean acidification on biological communities in situ for extended periods of time (weeks to months). They overcome some of the drawbacks of laboratory experiments and field observations by enabl...
