Polar waters may be highly impacted by ocean acidification (OA) due to increased solubility of CO 2 at colder water temperatures. Three experiments examining the influence of OA on primary and bacterial production were conducted during austral summer at Davis Station, East Antarctica (6835′ S, 7758′...
