Abstract

Ocean acidification is the result of CO2 dissolving in seawater and lowering its pH. Scientists know that a drop in ocean pH affects carbon cycle, reducing carbonate ions that corals use to build shells. Now a study has shown that CO2- induced increase in acidity disrupts aquatic nitrification rate. The finding was published in the December 21 issue of PNAS. The nitrification process is central to nitrogen cycle in which marine microrganisms convert one form of nitrogen—ammonium —into nitrate, a form other aquatic organisms require.
