Potential sources of variability in mesocosm experiments on the response of phytoplankton to ocean acidification
Mesocosm experiments on phytoplankton dynamics under high CO2 concentrations mimic the response of marine primary producers to future ocean acidification.However, potential acidification effects can be hindered by the high standard deviation typically found in the replicates of the same CO2 treatment level.In experiments with multiple unresolved fa
