Carbon Emissions Change the Ocean Chemistry

Viac o knihe

The book explores the impact of rising carbon dioxide levels on ocean temperatures and acidification, highlighting their detrimental effects on marine ecosystems. It emphasizes the regional disparities in these changes, with Polar Regions absorbing more CO2 due to colder waters, leading to faster acidification compared to warmer areas that may release CO2. Additionally, the role of ocean circulation patterns and prevailing winds in influencing nutrient distribution and acidity levels is examined, offering a comprehensive understanding of these complex interactions.
