Ocean Acidification Affects the Response of the Coastal Coccolithophore Pleurochrysis carterae to Irradiance.

ABSTRACT: The ecologically important marine phytoplankton group coccolithophores have a global distribution. The impacts of ocean acidification on the cosmopolitan species Emiliania huxleyi have received much attention and have been intensively studied. However, the species-specific responses of coccolithophores and how these responses will be regulated by other environmental drivers are still largely unknown. To examine the interactive effects of irradiance and ocean acidification on the physiology of the coastal coccolithophore species Pleurochrysis carterae, we carried out a semi-continuous incubation experiment under a range of irradiances (50, 200, 500, 800 μmol photons m^-2 s^-1) at two CO₂ concentration conditions of 400 and 800 ppm. The results su
