Calcium carbonate precipitation induced by the growth of the marine...
In this laboratory study, we monitored the buildup of biomass and concomitant shift in seawater carbonate chemistry over the course of a Trichodesmium bloom under different phosphorus (P) availability....

The potential impact of rising carbon dioxide (CO2) on carbon transfer from phytoplankton to bacteria was investigated during the 2005 PeECE III mesocosm study in Bergen, Norway. Sets of mesocosms, in...
View ArticleGlobal declines in oceanic nitrification rates as a consequence of ocean...
Ocean acidification produced by dissolution of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO(2)) emissions in seawater has profound consequences for marine ecology and biogeochemistry. The oceans have absorbed...

In view of the current increase in atmospheric pCO2 and concomitant changes in the marine environment, it is crucial to assess, understand, and predict future responses of ecologically relevant...
View Article“Bottom up” ocean acidification: A study on the effects of CO2 on the...
As atmospheric concentration of CO2 continues to increase, alternatives on how to mitigate and reduce the rate of this development has received much attention. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is doing...
View ArticleThe rise of harmful cyanobacteria blooms: The potential roles of...
Cyanobacteria are the most ancient phytoplankton on the planet and form harmful algal blooms in freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems. Recent research suggests that eutrophication and climate...

Gas hydrothermal vents are used as a natural analogue for studying the effects of CO2 leakage from hypothetical shallow marine storage sites on benthic and pelagic systems. This study investigated the...
View ArticleResponse of Nodularia spumigena to pCO2 – Part I: Growth, production and...
Heterocystous cyanobacteria of the genus Nodularia form extensive blooms in the Baltic Sea contributing substantially to the total annual primary production. Moreover, they dispense a large fraction of...
View ArticleCommunity-level response of coastal microbial biofilms to ocean acidification...
The impacts of ocean acidification on coastal biofilms are poorly understood. Carbon dioxide vent areas provide an opportunity to make predictions about the impacts of ocean acidification. We compared...
View ArticleResponse of Nodularia spumigena to pCO2 – Part 2: Exudation and extracellular...
The filamentous and diazotrophic cyanobacterium Nodularia spumigena plays a major role in the productivity of the Baltic Sea as it forms extensive blooms regularly. Under phosphorus limiting conditions...
