A serious acidification trend currently affects paddy soil and soil phosphorus (P) availability has declined in rice production. This study investigated the effect of rice-straw biochar on P availability and the adaptability of rice roots in acidified soil. Rice was grown in rhizoboxes, allowing for the precise sampling of rhizosphere and bulk soil for the sequential …
The p CO 2 data shown here as an ecosystem indicator of ocean acidification represent regional annual averages of these mapped estimates.. Description of Time Series: Between 2016 and 2021 in pCO 2 showed a significant increasing trend and is at the upper range of historical values. The estimated uncertainty of the p CO 2 values used to compute this regional average is ±18 …

The growing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in smartphones, electric vehicles (EVs), and other energy storage devices should be correlated with their environmental impacts from production to usage and recycling. As the use of LIBs grows, so does the number of waste LIBs, demanding a recycling procedure as a sustainable resource and safer for the …
For other marine life, however, there is no escape from ocean acidification. "Ocean acidification has effects, in the end, for our food chain. We see it in pteropods—tiny marine snails are an important source of food for juvenile Pacific salmon. They are growing thinner shells, and the shells malform under acidified conditions. We see it in ...
In the past, ocean acidification occurred naturally but over much longer periods of time. It is occurring faster now than in the last 20 million years.

CO 2 concentrations drive rising temperatures and acidification. The rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is driving up ocean surface temperatures and causing ocean acidification. Although warming and acidification are different phenomena, they interact to the detriment of marine ecosystems. These changes to the ocean aren''t occurring at …
Ocean acidification, driven by an overload of CO2 in our seas, is literally causing a sea change, threatening the chemical balance of ocean and coastal waters worldwide. Ocean acidification is a severe threat to shellfish, corals and other marine life because corrosive water can destroy their protective shells and skeletons, putting foo
Chapter 19 ~ Acidification Key Concepts. After completing this chapter, you will be able to: Describe the most important chemical ingredients of precipitation and explain which ones may cause acidity to develop. Outline the spatial patterns of acidic precipitation in North America, and identify factors influencing this distribution. Explain the difference between the wet and dry …
These results indicate that nutrient-induced acidification can cascade up its impacts along the soil food webs and influence ecosystem functioning, providing novel insight into the mechanisms ...
By Fiona Brown, Chris Gerbing 25 November 2020 6 min read. As reported in the CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology''s latest State of the Climate report, oceans around Australia are acidifying 10 times faster than at any point in the last 300 million years. When coupled with ocean warming and deoxygenation, this is putting considerable pressure on our …

Soil functions are thus crucial for the biosphere and its main ecological roles include: (a) Support for structures: The soils are widely used in making causeways and roads, as a foundation for buildings and bridges as well as for the establishment of agriculture crops and forestry. (b) Medium for plant growth: The soil consists of four main components, viz. mineral …

Over the next century, elevated quantities of atmospheric CO2 are expected to penetrate into the oceans, causing a reduction in pH (−0.3/−0.4 pH unit in the surface ocean) and in the concentration of carbonate ions (so-called ocean acidification). Of growing concern are the impacts that this will have on marine and estuarine organisms and ecosystems. Marine shelled …
Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth''s ocean. Between 1950 and 2020, the average pH of the ocean surface fell from approximately 8.15 to 8.05. [2] Carbon dioxide emissions from human activities are the primary cause of ocean acidification, with atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) levels exceeding 422 ppm (as of 2024). [3] CO 2 from the atmosphere is …

Acidification, in conjunction with other climate change–related environmental stresses, particularly under future climate change and further elevated atmospheric CO2 levels, potentially puts at risk many of the valuable ecosystem services that the ocean provides to society, such as fisheries, aquaculture, and shoreline protection. Thisreview emphasizes both current scientific …
In addition to H + budget, base cation budget is also an effective indicator of soil acidification due to the importance of base cations for buffering acidity. It has been widely recognized that base cations exchange and mineral weathering are the most important soil acid-buffering mechanisms in non-calcareous soils (defined as soils with 5.0 < pH < 6.5) (Lu et al., …
We conducted a 10-year field experiment of simulated acid deposition to examine how acidification impacts seasonal changes of different soil P fractions in a tropical forest with highly acidic soils in south China. As expected, acid addition significantly increased occluded P pool but reduced the other more labile P pools in the dry season. In ...
