Tidepools in Dead Man’s Cove show large fluctuations in carbonate chemistry during the low tide in comparison to Haro Stait water
(2011)
During the low tide, tidepools are under different physio-chemical conditions than the
coastal waters. This includes the carbonate chemistry, which is especially pertinent to
study due to the threat of ocean acidification on carbonate chemistry. We examined the
fluctuation in DIC, total alkalinity, pH, temperature, dissolved ...
THE TALE OF TWO TIDEPOOLS: EXAMINING CARBONATE CHEMISTRY IN THE INTERTIDAL
(2011)
Tidepools are a prominent feature of the intertidal zone, housing a great diversity of both
macroalgae and mobile animal components. Tidepool organisms are exposed to wide variations
in temperature, salinity, and pH over the course of the low tide. As of yet, very few studies have
quantified the changes in carbonate chemistry ...
