Effects of a Shallow-Water Hydrothermal Vent Gradient on Benthic Calcifiers, Tutum Bay, Ambitle Island, Papua New Guinea
Ocean acidification is occurring in response to rapidly increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2. Shallow-water hydrothermal vent systems have been proposed as natural laboratories for studying the effects of elevated pCO2 on benthic communities. Hydrothermal vents occur at depths of approximate...
