The effects of reduced and elevated CO2 and O2 on the seaweed Lomentaria articulata
Open accessAbstract
We grew a non‐bicarbonate using red seaweed, Lomentaria articulata (Huds.) Lyngb., in media aerated with four O 2 concentrations between 10 and 200% of current ambient [O 2] and four CO 2 concentrations between 67 and 500% of current ambient [CO 2], in a factorial design, to determine the effects of gas composition on growth and physiology. The relative growth rate of L. articulata increased with increasing [CO 2] up to 200% of current ambient [CO 2] but was unaffected by [O 2]. The relative growth enhancement, on a carbon basis, was 52% with a doubling of [CO 2] but fell to 23% under 5× ambient [CO 2]. Plants collected in winter responded more extremely to [CO 2] than did plants collected in the summer, although the overall pattern was the same. Discrimination between stable carbon isotopes (Δ 13 C) increased with increasing [CO 2] as would be expected for diffusive CO 2 acquisition. Tissue C and N were inversely related to [CO 2]. Growth in terms of biomass appeared to be limited by conversion of photosynthate to new biomass rather than simply by diffusion of CO 2, suggesting that non‐bicarbonate‐using macroalgae, such as L. articulata, may not be directly analogous to C3 higher plants in terms of their responses to changing gas composition.

OA has also been shown to increase the dominance of some fleshy algal groups, either by enhancing photosynthetic carbon fixation or releasing them from competitive associations with calcareous taxa.
“In contrast, OA has also been shown to increase the dominance of some fl eshy algal groups, either by enhancing photosynthetic carbon fi xation or releasing them from competitive associations with calcareous taxa (Gao, Ji & Aruga 1999; Kubler, Johnston & Raven 1999; Russell et al. 2009).”

The Growth section (page not provided) reports that elevated CO₂ increased the carbon-based growth rate of the red seaweed Lomentaria articulata. The paper does not show increased dominance of fleshy algal groups, directly establish enhanced photosynthetic carbon fixation as the cause, or examine competition with calcareous taxa. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSome marine algae benefit from higher CO2 levels, enhancing their growth and calcification, although the effects can vary between closely related species and even between strains of the same species.
“Some marine algae also benefit from higher CO 2 levels, enhancing their growth (Gao et al., 1999;Kübler et al., 1999;Riebesell et al., 2007) and calcification (Iglesias-Rodriguez et al., 2008), although the effects can vary between closely related species and even between strains of the same species (Langer et al., 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
