Scientific Programme BIOACID II
To address and better understand the chain from biological mechanisms, through individual organism responses, food web and ecosystem effects, to economic impacts, five consortia were established for BIOACID phase II:
- Consortium 1: Pelagic ecosystems under ocean acidification: Ecological, biogeochemical and evolutionary responses
- Consortium 2: Responses of benthic assemblages to interactive stress
- Consortium 3: Natural CO2-rich reefs as windows into the future: Acclimatization of marine life to long-term ocean acidification and consequences for biogeochemical cycles
- Consortium 4: Effects of ocean acidification in a warming climate on species interactions at distribution boundaries: Mechanisms and consequences at ecosystem level
- Consortium 5: Ocean services
