This additional CO2 causes a distinctly stronger ocean acidification. These results were published in a study by climate scientists from the University of Bern and \u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure in Paris. Ocean acidification threatens the life of calcifying organisms \u2013 such as mussels and &#8221;sea butterflies&#8221; \u2013 and can have serious consequences for the entire food chain.<\/p>\n<p>The ocean takes up large amounts of man-made CO2 from the atmosphere. This additional CO2 causes ocean acidification, a process that can already be observed today. Ocean acidification particularly impacts organisms that form calcium carbonate skeletons and shells, such as molluscs, sea urchins, starfish and corals. The Arctic Ocean is where acidification is expected to be greatest.<\/p>\n<p>A study that was recently published in the scientific journal Nature by Jens Terhaar from Bern and Lester Kwiatkowski and Laurent Bopp from the \u00c9cole normale sup\u00e9rieure in Paris shows, that ocean acidification in the Arctic Ocean is likely to be even worse than previously thought. The results show that the smallest of the seven seas will take up 20% more CO2 over the 21st century than previously expected, under the assumption that the atmospheric CO2 concentrations continue to increase. &#8221;This leads to substantially enhanced ocean acidification, particularly between 200 and 1000 meters&#8221;, explains Jens Terhaar, member of the group for ocean modeling at the Oeschger-Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Bern. This depth range is an important refuge area for many marine organisms.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enn.com\/articles\/64069-arctic-ocean-acidification-worse-than-previously-expected\">ENN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Arctic Ocean will take up more CO2 over the 21st century than predicted by most climate models.
