1. meroplankton mature to become non-plankton organisms whereas holoplankton stay as plankton through theie entire life cycleReckless57 wrote: ↑February 2nd, 2020, 3:09 pm 1. What is the difference between holoplankton and meroplankton?

1) Turbidity doesn't directly affect temperature, but it increases the absorption of sunlight, so Ima say that more turbid water is warmer. 2) Higher temperature means lower dissolved oxygen, and more dissolved COs. 3)Aragonite saturation indicates ocean acidity (I'm not sure what you're asking here, so this is my best bet)

I agree that would occur, but would it be offset by the lower solubility of CO2?jimmy-bond wrote: ↑February 6th, 2020, 5:38 pm I think BennyTheJett is implying that increased temp results in higher respiration rates, leading to a decrease in oxygen and an increase in CO2.
