ImpactHigh impact

The discussions suggest that the publication is viewed as highly impactful, with many recognizing its implications for marine ecosystems and climate policy.

Abstract in brief

  • The ocean's surface is currently saturated with calcium carbonate, but rising CO2 levels are lowering ocean pH and carbonate ion concentrations, affecting saturation levels.
  • Experimental results show that marine organisms like corals and certain plankton could struggle to maintain their calcium carbonate structures if these trends continue.
  • Projections indicate that by 2050, the Southern Ocean will start to become undersaturated with aragonite, with potential widespread undersaturation by 2100, threatening high-latitude ecosystems sooner than previously believed.
