Rising CO2 levels causing 'tooth decay' in sea organisms
2013-07-27 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times of India: Rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are having a catastrophic effect on microscopic marine life, according to scientists. Experiments by the University of St Andrews show microscopic organisms, called foraminifera ('forams'), suffer the equivalent of tooth-decay as seawater becomes more acidic. Foraminifera are tiny single-celled organisms that build intricate shells to protect themselves. They feed on algal cells called diatoms, which they break open using tooth-like structures on their...

Ocean Acidification and Deep-sea Organisms
2013-05-25 14:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Although the natural absorption of CO2 by the world's oceans help mitigate climate effects, the resulting decrease in pH causes ocean acidification which can have negative consequences for much of the marine life, specifically calcifiers such as corals and mollusks that construct their shells and skeletons from calcium carbonate. To study the effects of ocean acidification on deep-sea organisms, a team of researchers at the University of Bristol and Yale University used Synchrotron Radiation X-ray...
