Abstract |
The goal of this study was to quantitatively investigate the links between changes in the ocean carbonate system and organism physiology and morphometry (including CaCO3 shells), biogeochemical rates, plankton biodiversity and community structure, food webs and climate-relevant processes. For that purpose we devised and implemented a series of highly replicated (n=8), short term (2-4 days) multi-level (>=4 conditions) carbonate chemistry (E1-E5)/nutrient manipulation (E2b, E3b and E5b) experiments on a range of natural microbial communities sampled in the surface mixed layer (<20 m) of Northwest European shelf seas. The cruise was conducted at a time of year with enhanced biological productivity and coccolithophore abundance (June/July 2011; PSO Achterberg). The cruise covered areas of different pH, seasonally stratified and perennially mixed seas, areas of coccolithophore abundance and absence, and areas (e.g. eastern North Sea, influence of Baltic inflow) where low alkalinity decouples CaCO3 from sea surface temperature. |
