Discerning the roles of ocean acidification, eutrophication, and river alkalization in driving long-term pH trends in the Chesapeake Bay ...
Rising anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere and oceanic uptake of CO2 have led to a gradual decrease in seawater pH and ocean acidification, but pH changes in estuaries and coastal systems are more complicated due to a multitude of global and regional environmental drivers. Increasing global fertiliz...
