Hi Ecologers! Question for those of you familiar with Ocean Acidification: anyone aware of evidence/studies about micro-zones of acidification? Like, has anyone detected small, localized regions where the water is specifically more acidic in certain places versus others? Or is the acidity basically uniform and just gradually becomes more/less acidic as you move up/down latitudes, or deeper/shallower in the water column? I know areas around hydrothermal vents can get super acidic, and I would *think *a certain current has a characteristic acidity trend... how about near the shore? Do pockets of acidic water tend to form at all?
Thanks for any commentary you can provide. Links to suggested papers would be awesome, too! Best Kat Katharine L. Leigh My Linkedin <http://www.linkedin.com/pub/katharine-leigh/9a/175/482/en>
