Response of Phytoplankton Assemblages From Naturally Acidic Coastal Ecosystems to Elevated pCO2

Natalia Osma, Natalia Osma, Laura Latorre-Melín, Bárbara Jacob et al. • Frontiers in Marine Science (2020)

The interplay of coastal oceanographic processes usually results in partial pressures of CO2 (pCO2) higher than expected from the equilibrium with the atmosphere and even higher than those expected by the end of the century. Although this i...
