Ocean acidification causes bleaching and productivity loss in coral reef builders
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification represents a key threat to coral reefs by reducing the calcification rate of the major reef framework builders. In addition, acidification is likely to affect the...

Complex and interactive effects of ocean acidification and temperature on epilithic and endolithic coral-reef turf algal assemblages
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Turf algal assemblages are ubiquitous primary producers on coral reefs, but little is known about the response of this diverse group to ocean acidification (OA) across different...

Warmer more acidic conditions cause decreased productivity and calcification in subtropical coral reef sediment-dwelling calcifiers
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The effects of elevated CO2 and temperature on photosynthesis and calcification in the calcifying algae Halimeda macroloba and Halimeda cylindracea and the symbiont-bearing benthic...

Saturating light and not increased carbon dioxide under ocean acidification drives photosynthesis and growth in (Chlorophyta)
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Carbon physiology of a genetically identified Ulva rigida was investigated under different CO2(aq) and light levels. The study was designed to answer whether (1) light or exogenous...

Boosted nutritional quality of food by CO2 enrichment fails to offset energy demand of herbivores under ocean warming, causing energy depletion and mortality
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The CO2-boosted trophic transfer from primary producers to herbivores has been increasingly discovered at natural CO2 vents and in laboratory experiments. Despite the emerging knowledge...

Abiotic and biotic interactions in the diffusive boundary layer of kelp blades create a potential refuge from ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
1.Seaweeds are able to modify the chemical environment at their surface, in a micro‐zone called the diffusive boundary layer (DBL), via their metabolic processes controlled by light...

Greenhouse conditions induce mineralogical changes and dolomite accumulation in coralline algae on tropical reefs
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Human-induced ocean acidification and warming alter seawater carbonate chemistry reducing the calcification of reef-building crustose coralline algae (CCA), which has implications for...
