As more CO2 enters the ocean, the water’s pH and temperature change in processes called ocean warming and acidification. Both processes pose a risk to marine microbes, as they are unaccustomed to their new, more acidic environment. Several marine species depend on the microbes that dwell in the ocean, and if the change in pH […]
