In the deepest parts of the ocean, below 4,000 metres, the combination of high pressure and low temperature creates conditions that dissolve calcium carbonate, the material marine animals use to make ...

The carbonate compensation depth — a zone where high pressure and low temperature creates conditions so acidic it dissolves shell and skeleton — could make up half of the global ocean by the end of ...

A University of Nebraska–Lincoln research team has identified new microscopic players in the global carbon cycle, a discovery that paints a clearer picture of carbon flow through the environment and ...

When raised in warm water and exposed to acidified water, bryozoans, honeycomb-shaped sea creatures, dissolved within two months, researchers observed. (Eric Sanford/UC Davis) Warming waters plus ...
