Resumo(s)

Global change is and will continue impacting biodiversity, as many studies have already documented. Rising atmospheric CO2 is alleviated by oceanic uptake, since atmosphere and surface ocean exchange CO2 , but it also modifies the ocean carbonate system towards decreased carbonate ion concentrations and a corresponding decline in seawater pH. This process is known as ocean acidification (OA) and has a direct effect on plankton, namely calcifying organisms, such as coccolithophores, foraminifers, corals, molluscs and crustaceans, with consequences for the entire marine ecosystem (see review by Reibesell and Tortell 2011).
