Upwelling Amplifies Ocean Acidification on the East Australian Shelf: Implications for Marine Ecosystems
Frequent upwelling of deep, cold water, rich in dissolved inorganic nutrients and carbon dioxide but low in oxygen concentrations and pH, is well documented in eastern boundary systems. As a consequence, waters in vast areas of the continental shelf can turn corrosive to the mineral aragonite, vital...
