In order to test the influences of ocean acidification on the ocean pelagic ecosystem, so far the largest CO 2 manipulation mesocosm study (European Project on Ocean Acidification, EPOCA) was performed in Kings Bay (Kongsfjorden), Spitsbergen. During a 30 day incubation, bacterial diversity was inve...
