Re: [ECOLOG-L] Ocean Acidification Question

Hi Kat, A well known case is the CO2 seeps in Papua new Guinea. See this link for an example: https://www.aims.gov.au/research/climate-change/ocean-acidification/co2-seeps Felix On Mon, Jun 25, 2018 at 10:12 PM, Ka

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Ocean Acidification Question

Acidification in the coastal regions has particularly high heterogeneity and can change both spatially and temporally on high frequency scales. Water is typically too well mixed to form "micro" pockets unless there is a steep density gradient, as in hydrothermal vent regions. Check out the "Ocean

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Ocean Acidification Question

Hi Katharine, I know that mangrove ecosystems tend to get more/acidic variable than coastal open water ecosystems (Gedan et al. 2017). So micro-zone pH conditions seem to depend on both biotic and abiotic conditions defining ecosystems. I hope it helps. Good luck, Dr. Pierre Chuard Gedan et al.

[ECOLOG-L] Ocean Acidification Question

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 basicall
