With reference to acidification of ocean, consider the following statements:
1. It occurs due to the high absorption of nitrogenous based acidic compounds.
2. Productivity of corals will increase because of the increase in nitrogenous nutrients.
3. Introduction of seagrasses can reduce the impact of acidification.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
1 and 2 Only
3 Only
2 and 3 Only
All of the above
When carbon dioxide dissolves in this ocean,carbonic acid is formed. This leads to higher acidity, mainly near the surface, which has been proven to inhibit shell growth in marine animals and is suspected as a cause of reproductive disorders in some fish.As human activities pump ever-greater quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, our ocean waters absorb that gas, which results in ocean acidification.Shell-forming animals including corals,oysters, shrimp, lobster, many planktonic organisms, and even some fish species could be gravely affected. This is because numerous marine organisms such as corals, mollusks, crustaceans and seaurchins rely on carbonate ions to form their calcareous shells or skeletons in a process known as calcification. Ocean acidification is expected to impact ocean species to varying degrees.Photosynthetic algae and seagrasses may benefit from higher CO2 conditions in the ocean, as they require CO2 to live just like plants on land.Solution to reduce acidification:Seagrass, an organism with “amazing properties”: this plant absorbs carbon dioxide, uses it to produce more seagrass and changes the very chemistry of the water around it, reducing the impact of ocean acidification.
