Impact of elevated pCO2 on benthic foraminifera from the southwestern...
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations have a strong impact on the marine carbonate
chemistry leading to a phenomenon called ocean acidification. Excess CO2 dissolves in the surface
water of the ocean, thereby the seawater pCO2 increases, whereas the [CO3
2-] and pH decrease.
Reduced CO3
