Increase in ocean acidity affects the marine nitrogen cycle

More carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (CO2) means more carbon dioxide dissolves in the oceans. As that happens the acidity of the oceans increases (technically, the pH decreases). This process is chemically obvious and the data indicates that ocean acidification is occurring and increasing. The impact on life in the seas is complex. Many studies [...]
