Webinar summary: On a scale of 0-14, how familiar are you with ocean acidification pHacts?! With NOAA’s Data in the Classroom, students use historical and real-time NOAA data to explore today’s most pressing environmental issues. Each of the five modules addresses research questions, includes stepped levels of engagement and builds students’ abilities to understand, interpret, and think critically about data.  (Image credit: NOAA) Download Imag…

Effects of acidification and habitat loss on coastal nitrogen cycling dynamics - Ocean Acidification

Excess nitrogen (N) in urbanized coastal waterways from wastewater or agricultural inputs causes widespread habitat decline due to harmful algal blooms, poor water quality, and changes to seawater chemistry. For example, during an algal bloom, nocturnal respiration and seasonal decomposition of algal biomass release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the water column, which lowers seawater pH […] The post Effects of acidification and habitat loss on coas…
