Insignificant Response of Bacterioplankton Community to Elevated pCO₂ During a Short-Term Microcosm Experiment in a Subtropical Eutrophic Coastal Ecosystem.

ABSTRACT: Ocean acidification, as one of the major consequences of global climate change, markedly affects multiple ecosystem functions in disparate marine environments from coastal habitats to the deep ocean. Evaluation of the responses of marine microbial community to the increasing partial pressure of CO₂ (pCO₂) is crucial to explore the microbe-driven biogeochemical processes in the future ocean. In this study, a microcosm incubation of eutrophic coastal water from Xiamen Bay under elevated pCO₂ (about 1,000 μatm) and control (ambient air, about 380-410 μatm) conditions was conducted to investigate the effect of ocean acidification on the natural bacterioplankton community. During the 5-day incubation period, the chlorophyll a concentration a
