The Impacts Of Ph On Biodiversity In Marine Environments, Matthew Rock
The Impacts Of Ph On Biodiversity In Marine Environments, Matthew Rock
Biology Student Scholarship
Climate change continues to impact each and every environment on Earth due to rising levels of greenhouse gasses. CO2 is the most pervasive of these gasses, and when mixed with seawater it creates carbonic acid increasing the pH of water. Ocean acidification has led to large-scale die-offs of more sensitive marine species like coral; therefore, this project serves to evaluate the interaction between pH and the biodiversity of coastal marine environments.
