To What Extent Can Acidification in the Southern Ocean Impact on Marine Biodiversity?

Ocean acidification is regarded as one of the most recent threats to the global environment resulting from unprecedented absorption of elevated anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. The emerging research on the effect of acidifying oceans on marine organisms collectively indicates a potential detr...
