Abstract

An experiment examining the effects of increased CO2 concentrations upon the capacity of the different species of marine macrophytes to ameliorate seawater acidity via several assays in enclosed well-mixed, airtight chambers with no headspace, was conducted indoors at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences (Maine, USA), in June-July 2015. We explored the individual capacities of four species of marine macrophytes (Ulva lactuca, Zostera marina, Fucus vesiculosus and Saccharina latissima) to am...
