Acidification on Marine Ecosystems Ocean acidification is the ongoing warming and decreasing of pH in the earths water supply (Gray et al. 2016; PMEL 2017). The acidification is caused from the increase in carbon dioxide concentration within the earths atmosphere. The carbon dioxide then reacts with the water to produce carbonic acid and carbonate ions thus‚ decreasing the pH. Ocean acidification affects the ecology of everything on this planet.
