Sensitivity of the Indian Sundarban mangrove ecosystem to local level climate change

The increase of carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere due to rapid industrialization and unplanned urbanization has resulted in the rise of air temperature due to “blanket effect”. The rising carbon dioxide dissolves in the marine and estuarine waters to form carbonic acid, which shifts pH towards...

Description
Summary:The increase of carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere due to rapid industrialization and unplanned urbanization has resulted in the rise of air temperature due to “blanket effect”. The rising carbon dioxide dissolves in the marine and estuarine waters to form carbonic acid, which shifts pH towards a lower value. This phenomenon of acidification has been discussed in this paper with its implication in lowering oyster shell weight in the framework of Indian Sundarbans.
