Effects of ocean acidification on the performance and interaction of fleshy macroalgae and a grazing sea urchin

Katherine A. Burnham et al.

Summary: When predicting the response of marine ecosystems to climate change, understanding the indirect effects of ocean acidification on trophic interactions is as important as studying direct effects on organism physiology. Research has shown that under acidification, elevated seawater pCO(2) may impair the growth of algae and the chemical sensing of sea urchins, but the feeding behavior of sea urchins on fleshy macroalgae may remain unaffected.

The role of epiphytes in seagrass productivity under ocean acidification

Johanna Berlinghof et al.

Summary: Ocean acidification can impact seagrass holobionts by altering plant physiology and the composition of epiphytic communities. However, our understanding of the role of epiphytes in seagrass productivity under environmental changes is limited. In this study, Posidonia oceanica leaves were collected from CO2 vents to investigate their adaptation to ocean acidification. The results showed that leaves from the vent site had higher epiphytic cover and biomass, as well as increased net primary production compared to leaves from the ambient site. Epiphytes contributed significantly to the productivity of seagrass leaves, highlighting their important role in the holobiont response to ocean acidification.

Physiology of maerl algae: Comparison of inter- and intraspecies variations

Zujaila Nohemy Qui-Minet et al.

Summary: The study examines the physiology of free-living red coralline algae in the Bay of Brest, showing how different species and morphological variations are affected by seasonality and local environmental conditions. The research highlights the adaptability and plasticity of maerl physiology in response to environmental changes, with implications for maerl persistence.
