Seaweed Responses to Ocean Acidification
Ocean acidification (OA) is the decline in seawater pH caused by the sustained absorption by the oceansof anthropogenically produced atmospheric CO2. The consequences of OA to seaweed-based coastalecosystems range from organismal to community levels of biological organization. Organismal responsesca...
