This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Ocean Acidification Alan Cai, shelled organisms such as crabs, shelled organisms such as lobsters, calcium carbonate formation harming organisms such as shelled organisms, calcium carbonate formation harming organisms such as corals, and indirectly the ecosystems they support, hydrogen ions which decreases pH of ocean water, bicarbonate ions dissociates partially into hydrogen ions, anthropogenic activities increases Atmospheric CO2, CO2 dissolved in ocean dissociates partially into bicarbonate ions, CO2 dissolved in ocean achieves a balance with (depending on concentration gradient, which currently is tilted towards increasing oceanic CO2) Atmospheric CO2, shelled organisms such as snails, hydrogen ions which decreases pH of ocean water, bicarbonate ions dissociates partially into carbonate ions, CO2 dissolved in ocean dissociates partially into hydrogen ions, pH of ocean water which hinders calcium carbonate formation
