Ocean acidification represents a threat to marine species worldwide, and forecasting the ecological impacts of is high priority for science, management, policy. As research on topic expands at an exponential rate, comprehensive understanding variability in organisms' responses corresponding levels certainty necessary forecast effects. Here, we perform most meta-analysis date by synthesizing results 228 studies examining biological ocean acidification. The reveal decreased survival,...
The effect of Ocean Acidification (OA) on marine biota is quasi-predictable at best. While perturbation studies, in the form incubations under elevated pCO2, reveal sensitivities and responses individual species, one missing link OA story results from a chronic lack pH data specific to given species' natural habitat. Here, we present compilation continuous, high-resolution time series upper ocean pH, collected using autonomous sensors, over variety ecosystems ranging polar tropical,...
Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, from fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, along with agriculture land-use practices are causing wholesale increases in seawater CO2 inorganic levels; reductions pH; alterations acid-base chemistry of estuarine, coastal, surface open-ocean waters. On the basis laboratory experiments field studies naturally elevated marine environments, widespread biological impacts human-driven ocean acidification have been posited, ranging changes organism...
Ocean acidification is predicted to impact all areas of the oceans and affect a diversity marine organisms. However, responses among species prevents clear predictions about at ecosystem level. Here, we used shallow water CO 2 vents in Mediterranean Sea as model system examine emergent ocean rocky reef communities. We assessed situ benthic invertebrate communities three distinct pH zones (ambient, low, extreme low), which differed both mean variability seawater along continuous gradient....
Anthropogenic environmental changes, or ‘stressors’, increasingly threaten biodiversity and ecosystem functioning worldwide. Multiple-stressor research is a rapidly expanding field of science that seeks to understand ultimately predict the interactions between stressors. Reviews meta-analyses primary scientific literature have largely been specific either freshwater, marine terrestrial ecology, ecotoxicology. In this cross-disciplinary study, we review state knowledge within among these...
Ocean acidification, chemical changes to the carbonate system of seawater, is emerging as a key environmental challenge accompanying global warming and other human-induced perturbations. Considerable research seeks define scope character potential outcomes from this phenomenon, but crucial impediment persists. Ecological theory, despite its power utility, has been only peripherally applied problem. Here we sketch in broad strokes several areas where fundamental principles ecology have...

Abstract Although theory suggests geographic variation in species' performance is determined by multiple niche parameters, little consideration has been given to the spatial structure of interacting stressors that may shape local and regional vulnerability global change. Here, we use spatially explicit mosaics carbonate chemistry, food availability temperature spanning 1280 km coastline test whether persistent, overlapping environmental mediate growth predation a critical foundation species,...
Abstract The effects of environmental change on biodiversity are still poorly understood. In particular, the consequences shifts in species composition for marine ecosystem function largely unknown. Here we assess loss functional diversity, i.e. range biological traits, benthic communities exposed to ocean acidification (OA) by using natural CO 2 vent systems. We found that richness is greatly reduced with acidification, and more pronounced than corresponding decrease taxonomic diversity....
Disturbances are natural features of ecosystems that promote variability in the community and ultimately maintain diversity. Although it is recognized global change will affect environmental disturbance regimes, our understanding dynamics governing ecosystem recovery maintenance functional diversity future scenarios very limited. Here, we use one few naturally exposed to examine dynamics. We patterns marine species from a physical across different acidification regimes caused by volcanic CO...
The changing global climate is having profound effects on coastal marine ecosystems around the world. Structure, functioning, and resilience, however, can vary geographically, depending species composition, local oceanographic forcing, other pressures from human activities use. Understanding ecological responses to environmental change predicting changes in structure functioning of whole require large-scale, long-term studies, yet most studies trade spatial extent for temporal duration. We...
Abstract Global‐scale ocean acidification has spurred interest in the capacity of seagrass ecosystems to increase seawater pH within crucial shoreline habitats through photosynthetic activity. However, dynamic variability coastal carbonate system impeded generalization into whether aerobic metabolism ameliorates low on physiologically and ecologically relevant timescales. Here we present results most extensive study date modulation by seagrasses, spanning seven meadows ( Zostera marina )...
Global environmental change drives diversity loss and shifts in community structure. A key challenge is to better understand the impacts on ecosystem function connect species trait of assemblages with properties that are turn linked functioning. Here we quantify composition associated ocean acidification (OA) by using field measurements at marine CO
Ocean acidification (OA) is rapidly emerging as a significant problem for organisms, ecosystems, and human societies. Globally, addressing OA its impacts requires international agreements to reduce rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. However, the complex suite of drivers changing carbonate chemistry in coastal environments also regional policy analysis, mitigation, adaptation responses. In order fundamentally address threat OA, environmental managers need know where, when, by...
Ocean acidification (OA) is occurring across a backdrop of concurrent environmental changes that may in turn influence species' responses to OA. Temperature affects many fundamental biological processes and governs key reactions the seawater carbonate system. It therefore has potential offset or exacerbate effects While initial studies have examined combined impacts warming OA for narrow range climate change scenarios, our mechanistic understanding interactive temperature remains limited....
Laboratory measurements of physiological and demographic tolerances are important in understanding the impact climate change on species diversity; however, it has been recognized that forecasts based solely these laboratory estimates overestimate risk by omitting capacity for to utilize microclimatic variation via behavioral adjustments activity patterns or habitat choice. The complex, often context-dependent nature, microclimate utilization an impediment advancement general predictive...
