English example sentences with "acidification"

Acidification of the ocean will, in time, threaten the very existence of the Great Barrier Reef.
Translate from English to Spanish

Climate change and ocean acidification can result in mass coral bleaching events, increased susceptibility to disease, slower growth and reproductive rates, and degraded reef structure.
Translate from English to Spanish

Increased greenhouse gases from human activities result in climate change and ocean acidification.
Translate from English to Spanish

Ocean acidification refers to a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Translate from English to Spanish

Ocean acidification is affecting the entire world’s oceans, including coastal estuaries and waterways.
Translate from English to Spanish

Ocean acidification occurs when seawater absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is released into the air by burning fossil fuels, like oil and coal. That makes the ocean more acidic, which harms shellfish, other marine life and plants.
Translate from English to Spanish

Razor clamming draws crowds on the coast of Washington State. This popular recreation activity is expected to decline due to ocean acidification, harmful algal blooms, warmer temperatures, and habitat degradation.
Translate from English to Spanish

There was a warning, too, that New Zealand could expect more frequent marine heat waves, similar to those in 2017 and 2018, and ocean acidification.
Translate from English to Spanish

Scientists see deoxygenation alongside ocean warming and acidification as a major threat to ocean ecosystems and the well-being of people who depend on marine life.

Scientists wanted to see how these developing larvae were being affected by the increased acidity of the ocean water caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Whitman Miller — an environmental scientist and ecologist with the Smithsonian research center — says oceans normally absorb about half of the carbon dioxide that's produced by living creatures. But when excess CO₂ is pumped into the atmosphere and dissolves into seawater, that contributes to an acidification, or a lowering of the pH of the oceans. A byproduct of that process — carbonic acid — rapidly converts to carbonate and bicarbonate ions, which Miller says are corrosive to the calcium carbonate shells of oysters and other marine species.

Deep sea corals face a multitude of threats, including illegal harvesting, drag-net style commercial fishing, climate change, human pollution and acidification from accumulated carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
