A) boundary layer. B) transitional matrix.
C) edge effect. D) ecotone.

Question 2

How is ocean acidification possibly linked to increased anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2 )?

A) Atmospheric CO2 combines with atmospheric moisture forming a light carbonic acid forms (H2CO3 ), that is precipitated over the world's oceans.
B) Increased photosynthetic activity in phytoplankton resulting from increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations results in acidification due to a complex chemical reaction during plant decay.
C) Oceans may absorb much of the rising concentrations of rising carbon, as dissolved CO2 mixes with water to form carbonic acid (H2CO3).
D) Thermohaline circulation exchanges carbon between surface dissolved organic carbon and deep layers of dissolved inorganic carbon.
