A new CO 2 vent for the study of ocean acidification in the Atlantic

摘要: Natural CO2 vents are considered the gold standard of ocean acidification (OA) studies. In coastal areas these rare have only been investigated at Mediterranean temperate rocky reefs and Indo-Pacific coral reefs, although there should be more other volcanic shores around world. Substantial scientific efforts on investigating OA effects mostly performed by laboratory experiments. However, is a debate how acute this kind approach truly represents responses to scenarios, since it generally involves short-term, rapid perturbation single variable species Due limitations, world with natural essential understand long-term marine ecosystem rising human derived atmospheric concentrations. Here, we presented new vent found in subtropical North East Atlantic (28°N, La Palma Island) that shows moderate emission (900ppm), reducing pH values an annual average 7.86±0.16.
