Biogeochemical feedbacks to ocean acidification in a cohesive photosynthetic sediment

Abstract Ecosystem feedbacks in response to ocean acidification can amplify or diminish diel pH oscillations in productive coastal waters. Benthic microalgae generate such oscillations in sediment porewater and here we ask how CO2 enrichment (acidification) of the overlying seawater alters these in...
