There was another study, that I posted earlier, that said that phytoplankton decrease in areas of low nutrients were exacerbated by increased ocean acidity. These folks did some research on Diatoms and believe they have found evidence of Silica and Carbon relations that facilitate CO2 sequestration by Diatoms. sciencemag.org Thus, the acidity being added to the oceans, by way of un-sequestered CO2, MAY very well be exacerbated by the lack of Phytoplankton. Ya ever think about that? Which came first.. Chicken or the Egg? So there's a potential "feedback mechanism" you should ponder as well.. But I'm glad that I've finally seemed to convince you of the importance of looking at the oceanic flora as part of climatic equation. Now just a few Billion more people left to inform and educate.. ;0) Hawk
