Effects of Ocean Acidification on the Ballast of Surface Aggregates Sinking through the Twilight Zone

The dissolution of CaCO(3) is one of the ways ocean acidification can, potentially, greatly affect the ballast of aggregates. A diminution of the ballast could reduce the settling speed of aggregates, resulting in a change in the carbon flux to the deep sea. This would mean lower amounts of more ref...
