Ocean Acidification Worse Than Expected

"Our results indicate greater regional anthropogenic carbon storage and ocean acidification than previously projected and increase the probability that large parts of the mesopelagic Arctic Ocean will be undersaturated with respect to calcite by the end of the century. This increased rate of Arctic Ocean acidification, combined with rapidly changing physical and biogeochemical, Arctic conditions is likely to exacerbate the impact of climate change on vulnerable Arctic marine ecosystems." - Excerpt from Nature
