Ecological and Evolutionary Responses to Recent Climate Change (2006, background): “The more dire projections (a doubling to tripling of current CO2 levels) suggest that, by 2050, oceans may be too acidic for corals to calcify (Caldeira & Wickett 2003, Hoegh-Guldberg 2005a, Orr et al. 2005).”
Effects of climate change on phenology, frost damage, and floral abundance of montane wildflowers. (2008, background): “(2004; FIGURE 1), WITH PERMISSION FROM THE AUTHOR AND SPRINGER SCIENCE AND BUSINESS MEDIA ELEMENTS OCTOBER 2008322 Retention could be increased further using the reaction of CO2 with carbonate minerals.”
Impacts of ocean acidification on marine shelled molluscs (2013, neutral): “C; Caldeira and Wickett 2003).”
The metabolic response of pteropods to acidification reflects natural CO 2 -exposure in oxygen minimum zones (2011, positive): “The pH of the ocean has already dropped by ∼ 0.1 units relative to preindustrial levels and is predicted to drop another 0.2 to 0.3 in the next one hundred years (Haugan and Drange, 1996; Caldeira and Wickett, 2003, 2005).”
Post-larval development of two intertidal barnacles at elevated CO2 and temperature (2010, background): “Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is causing atmospheric and sea surface temperatures to rise (Levitus et al. 2005); additionally, CO2 is being absorbed into the oceans and reacting with seawater to form a weak acid in a phenomenon termed ‘‘ocean acidification’’ ( Caldeira and Wickett 2003”
Potential impacts of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions on Mediterranean marine ecosystems and cetaceans (2008, background): “According to Caldeira & Wickett (2003) and Feely et al. (2004), the expected change in pH will be greater than any other pH variations observed in the fossil record over the last 200–300 million years.”
Anticipating ocean acidification’s economic consequences for commercial fisheries (2009, background): “To date, anthropogenic CO2 has reduced average surface ocean pH to 8.1 from a preindustrial value of 8.2, a 30% increase in acidity (Caldeira and Wickett 2003).”
Competition between calcifying and noncalcifying temperate marine macroalgae under elevated CO2 levels (2012, background): “The atmospheric CO2 concentration is expected to climb to 800−1000 ppm by the year 2100 (Bindoff et al. 2007), and model simulations indicate they could even reach 1900 ppm by 2300 (Caldeira & Wickett 2003, Orr et al. 2005).”
Offspring sensitivity to ocean acidification changes seasonally in a coastal marine fish (2014, background): “In late summer, observed diel CO2 fluctuations (400 to 4000 µatm; Baumann et al. 2014) resulting from interacting tidal and day-night cycles in the marsh were about twice the magnitude of the predicted maximum acidification in the average open ocean (Caldeira & Wickett 2003).”
Patterns of Acid–Base Regulation During Exposure to Hypercarbia in Fishes (2009, background): “As a result of other anthropogenic activities, globally projected increases in atmospheric CO2 levels over the next several centuries are hypothesized to elevate surface-water CO2 levels 5-fold, which may reduce the pH of these waters by 0.7 pH units (Caldeira and Wickett 2003).”
Acute survivorship of the deep-sea coral Lophelia pertusa from the Gulf of Mexico under acidification, warming, and deoxygenation (2014, background): “At the current rate of CO2 emissions, surface seawater pH is projected to decrease by 0.4 units by the year 2100 (Caldeira and Wickett, 2003).”
Interactive effects of elevated temperature and pCO2 on early-life-history stages of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera (2014, positive): “E. Hofmann). te University, Dominguez Hills, (pCO2 ∼ 1000 μatm) globally by the year 2100 (IPCC, 2013) and up to 0.8 units (pCO2 ∼ 2000 μatm) by the year 2300 (Caldeira and Wickett, 2003, 2005; IPCC, 2013).”
