"scientists from the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies took a closer look at how OAE could change ocean chemistry and how this could affect marine organisms in their surrounding environment" 🌊🧪

Importantly, our findings show that it is critical to consider large-scale feedbacks in the ocean system when evaluating the efficiency of ocean alkalinity enhancement.

However, more moderate and arguable more realistic alkalinity enhancement may only mitigate for adverse acidification effects on coccolithophores, with only minor impacts on the CO2 removal potential of OAE (a reduction of less than 3% until 2100).

Nadine Lehmann @nadlehmann.bsky.social · Feb 12

Based on observed relationships, we estimate that extreme alkalinity enhancement may promote the proliferation of coccolithophores, thereby reducing the CO2 removal potential of ocean alkalinity enhancement by 2-29% by 2100. 8/10

Nadine Lehmann @nadlehmann.bsky.social · Feb 12

However, our results also show that on a regional and local scale other environmental drivers such as nutrient availability and the physical environment may dominate over the influence of carbonate chemistry. 7/10

Nadine Lehmann @nadlehmann.bsky.social · Feb 12

This observation is supported by physiological theory from previous laboratory experiments showing a combined influences of carbon substrate availability and proton inhibition of calcification. 6/10 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Nadine Lehmann @nadlehmann.bsky.social · Feb 12

We found that surface gradients similar in magnitude to OAE-induced changes in carbonate chemistry support the proliferation of calcifying over non-calcifying phytoplankton. This positive correlation was observed across biogeochemically-distinct ocean provinces, bloom areas and marginal seas. 5/10

Nadine Lehmann @nadlehmann.bsky.social · Feb 12

To test this, we used global satellite data to look at the balance in the abundance of calcifying phytoplankton relative to non-calcifying phytoplankton, and how this balance correlates with natural surface gradients of environmental drivers such as carbonate chemistry, nutrients, temperature. 4/10

Nadine Lehmann @nadlehmann.bsky.social · Feb 12

A key question we tried to answer was if such a shift in carbonate chemistry could lead to a proliferation of calcifying organisms like coccolithophores by facilitating calcium carbonate precipitation. By consuming alkalinity, increased calcification could directly reduce the efficiency of OAE. 3/10

Nadine Lehmann @nadlehmann.bsky.social · Feb 12

OAE sequesters atmospheric CO2 by shifting the seawater carbonate equilibrium from CO2 toward bicarbonate and carbonate ions, thereby promoting an influx of CO2 from the atmosphere into the surface ocean. 2/10

Would marine calcifiers such as coccolithophores benefit from changes in carbonate chemistry under ocean alkalinity enhancement? @bachlennart.bsky.social and I tried to answer this question in a new natural analogue study out now in Nature Geoscience! @naturegeosci.bsky.social 🌊🧪 rdcu.be/d9zdH 1/10

Does anyone know what the best temperature, salinity, pH (maybe O2) logger is for in situ application at 10m depth in seawater?

Obviously a SeapHox is great but looking for something more affordable.
