• Distinguishing between the effects of ocean acidification and ocean carbonation in the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi (2011, background): “This increase would have been even more pronounced if the ocean had not absorbed , 30% of anthropogenic CO2 (Sabine et al. 2004).”
• Interactive effects of ocean acidification and temperature on two scleractinian corals from Moorea, French Polynesia (2012, background): “In addition to causing global temperature to rise (Lacis et al., 2010), ~48% of atmospheric CO2 of anthropogenic origin has equilibrated with seawater over the last 200 y (Sabine et al., 2004), causing ocean acidification (OA) by depressing seawater pH (Kleypas et al., 2006).”
• Calcification and organic production on a Hawaiian coral reef (2011, positive): “concentration of hydrogen ions) of ocean waters (Andersson et al., 2005; Caldeira and Wickett, 2005; Feely et al., 2004, 2008a, b; Orr et al., 2005; Sabine et al., 2004).”
• Adaptation and the physiology of ocean acidification (2013, positive): “The oceans have absorbed almost one-third of anthropogenic CO2 emissions since the beginning of the industrial revolution (Sabine et al. 2004) resulting in a decrease in the pH of surface waters by 0 1 pH units and a reduced availability of free carbonate ions (CO3 2 ) used by many marine…”
• Ocean acidification effects on calcifying macroalgae (2014, background): “Since the Industrial Revolution, the surface waters of the global oceans have absorbed one-third of the anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere (Siegenthaler & Sarmiento 1993, Sabine et al. 2004, Sabine & Feely 2007).”
• Effect of carbonate ion concentration and irradiance on calcification in planktonic foraminifera (2010, background): “About 25% of the total anthropogenic CO2 emissions have been absorbed by the ocean (Sabine et al., 2004).”
• The impacts of climate change in coastal marine systems. (2006, background): “Roughly half of the CO2 released by human activities between 1800 and 1994 is now stored in the ocean (Sabine et al. 2004), and about 30% of modern CO2 emissions are taken up by oceans today (Feely et al. 2004).”
• The Biological carbon pump in the North Atlantic (2014, background): “Currently the ocean is thought to be the largest active carbon dioxide (CO2) sink, dominating the terrestrial and atmospheric reservoirs, and absorbing more than a quarter of anthropogenically released CO2 (Sabine et al., 2004).”
