Abstract

The feeding selectivity and the growth and reproductive success of the copepod Acartia tonsa have been studied in mesocosms fertilized at different Si:N ratios (0-1.75:1) and, therefore, at different compositions of the phytoplankton communities. Phytoplankton composition showed a strong response to nutrient ratios, with diatoms comprising > 90% at Si:N ratios > 1:1 of total biomass as opposed to

Abstract

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2)through human activities and invasion of anthropogenic CO2into the surface ocean alters the seawater carbonate chemistry,increasing CO2 and bicarbonate (HCO?3 ) at the expenseof carbonate ion (CO2?3 ) concentrations. This redistributionin the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) pooldecreases pH and carbonate saturation state (). Severalcomponents of the carbonate system are considered potentialkey variables influencing for instance calcium carbonateprecipitation in marine calcifiers such as coccolithophores,foraminifera, corals, mollusks and echinoderms. Unravellingthe sensitivities of marine organisms and ecosystems to CO2induced ocean acidification (OA) requires well-controlledexperimental setups and accurate carbonate system manipulations.Here we describe and analyse the chemical changesinvolved in the two basic approaches for carbonate chemistrymanipulation, i.e. changing DIC at constant total alkalinity(TA) and changing TA at constant DIC. Furthermore, webriefly introduce several methods to experimentally manipulateDIC and TA. Finally, we examine responses obtainedwith both approaches using published results for the coccolithophoreEmiliania huxleyi. We conclude that under mostexperimental conditions in the context of ocean acidificationDIC and TA manipulations yield similar changes in all parametersof the carbonate system, which implies direct comparabilityof data obtained with the two basic approaches forCO2 perturbation.

Abstract

Throughout Earth’s history, the oceans have played a dominant role in the climate system through the storage and transport of heat andthe exchange of water and climate-relevant gases with the atmosphere. The ocean’s heat capacity is 1,000 times larger than that of theatmosphere, its content of reactive carbon more than 60 times larger. Through a variety of physical, chemical, and biological processes, theocean acts as a driver of climate variability on time scales ranging from seasonal to interannual to decadal to glacial–interglacial. The sameprocesses will also be involved in future responses of the ocean to global change. Here we assess the responses of the seawater carbonatesystem and of the ocean’s physical and biological carbon pumps to (i) ocean warming and the associated changes in vertical mixingand overturning circulation, and (ii) ocean acidification and carbonation. Our analysis underscores that many of these responses have thepotential for significant feedback to the climate system. Because several of the underlying processes are interlinked and nonlinear, thesign and magnitude of the ocean’s carbon cycle feedback to climate change is yet unknown. Understanding these processes and their sensitivitiesto global change will be crucial to our ability to project future climate change
