|a Ocean acidification may have severe consequences for marine ecosystems; however, assessing
its future impact is difficult because laboratory experiments and field observations are limited by
their reduced ecologic complexity and sample period, respectively. In contrast, the geological
record contains long-term evidence for a variety of global environmental perturbations, including
ocean acidification plus their associated biotic responses. We review events exhibiting evidence
for elevated atmospheric CO2, global warming, and ocean acidification over the past ~300 million
years of Earth’s history, some with contemporaneous extinction or evolutionary turnover among
marine calcifiers. Although similarities exist, no past event perfectly parallels future projections
in terms of disrupting the balance of ocean carbonate chemistry—a consequence of the
unprecedented rapidity of CO2 release currently taking place. |
