Ocean acidification effects on marine planktic calcifiers: relative and absolute abundances of planktic foraminifera, pteropopds and their contribution to the carbonate pump/budget.

Abstract

The aim of this cruise was to collect planktic foraminifera and pteropods to detect and quantify ocean acidification effects on these two groups of organisms and assess their contribution to the carbon pump in the northern Barents Sea. For this purpose planktic foraminifera and pteropods were collected using multinets (64um).
