Abstract/Summary
Ocean acidification (OA) is one of the nine planetary processes recognized in the planetary boundary framework (PBF) that was established in 2009 [1]. The rapid uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere into the ocean is causing a change in ocean chemistry, a process termed OA. Hydrogen ion concentration is increasing (increasing acidity, or decreasing pH), and carbonate ion concentration is decreasing, resulting in declining saturation states of important carbonate minerals like aragonite (ΩArag) that form the shells or skeletons of some calcifying organisms.
