Ulva rigida in the future ocean: potential for carbon capture, bioremediation and biomethane production (2018, background): “The combined effects of global change factors need to be examined simultaneously as they are co-occurring (Koch et al., 2013).”
Macroalgal responses to ocean acidification depend on nutrient and light levels (2015, background): “As some primary producers are better able to capitalize on increasing carbon availability than others, this is expected to alter marine communities (Hepburn et al., 2011; Connell et al., 2013; Koch et al., 2013; Gaylord et al., 2015).”
Invasive seaweeds transform habitat structure and increase biodiversity of associated species (2017, background): “However, the relationship between CO2 concentrations and the composition of fleshy seaweed assemblages is still unclear as studies report species-specific and regional specific responses (reviewed in Koch et al. 2013).”
Interactive effects of elevated temperature and pCO2 on early-life-history stages of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera (2014, background): “…response system) or to high pCO2/low pH (e.g. control ion transport across membranes, increased capacity to store and allocate carbon in different functions), but less capable to maintain their homeostatic and growth function when exposed to both conditions (Hale et al., 2011; Koch et al., 2013).”
Ocean acidification and marine microorganisms : responses and consequences (2015, background): “Thus, in some marine phytoplankton, low CO2 level increases the production of RUBISCO while others have evolved RUBISCO with high affinity towards CO2 to maintain photosynthesis (Koch et al., 2013; Reinfelder, 2011).”
Ocean acidification effects on calcifying macroalgae (2014, background): “Although the effects of global change on macroalgae have been thoroughly reviewed, specific attention to ocean acidification effects on calcifying macroalgae has been relatively brief (Koch et al. 2013).”
How good are we at assessing the impact of ocean acidification in coastal systems? Limitations, omissions and strengths of commonly used experimental approaches with special emphasis on the neglected role of fluctuations (2016, background): “This is mainly driven by the oscillation of irradiation over 24 h leading to high net CO2 uptake through phototrophic organisms during the day, which increases pH, and CO2 release by all organisms at night, which decreases pH (Koch et al. 2013).”
Reviews and syntheses: Calculating the global contribution of coralline algae to total carbon burial (2015, background): “…in anthropogenic CO2 (Kleypas et al., 2006); the sensitivity of algae is of widespread impor- tance and it has generated several recent reviews which find coralline algae may show mixed response to global change (Nelson et al., 2009; Koch et al., 2012; Brodie et al., 2014; McCoy and Kamenos, 2015).”
The cultivation of European kelp for bioenergy: site and species selection. (2015, background): “While broadly speaking, non-calcifying autotrophs are predicted to benefit due to the increased CO2 availability [120], no clear conclusion can be made about the response of kelps, since macroalgal responses appear to be highly species-specific [121].”
Can macroalgae contribute to blue carbon? An Australian perspective (2015, background): “While the rising CO2 concentration is causing widespread problems, it is having a positive effect on the photosynthetic rate of those terrestrial plants that are otherwise carbon-limited (Long et al. 2004; Cornwall et al. 2012; Koch et al. 2013; Johnson et al. 2014).”
