Task 2.3: Model the impact of ocean acidification on sediment
nutrient cycling and shelf productivity
Jerry Blackford, PML
H0 Elevated CO2 x temperature will have
no significant impact on the mediation of ecosystem functions by
sediment processes.
The consortium’s expertise and results will be used to improve
conceptual and numerical models of benthic functioning which will
be embedded in the 1D ERSEM-GOTM model. This model will be used to
predict the impact of OA on benthic-mediated UK shelf processes
(e.g. primary productivity).
