Abstract: Surface ocean pH is likely to decrease by up to 0.4 units by 2100 due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO 2 from the atmosphere. Short-term experiments have revealed that this degree of seawater acidification can alter calcification rates in certain planktonic and benthic organisms, although the effects recorded may be shock responses and the long-term ecological effects are unknown. Here, we show the response of calcareous seagrass epibionts to elevated CO 2 partial pressure in aquaria and at a volcanic vent area where seagrass habitat has been ... (read more)
