Impact of ocean acidification on export and composition of sedimenting material in an Arctic offshore mesocosm study
The anthropogenic release of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) is well known to cause global climate change. Additionally, oceanic uptake of CO2 leads to an acidification of the surface layers through the formation of carbonic acid. The observed drop in average ocean surface pH of 0.1 units si...
