As organic material degrades co2 is released into the


As organic material degrades, CO2 is released into the microcosms. State the reactions by which this affects the alkalinity of the media including-1) the pH effect of higher CO2 concentrations in the media (that is the release of protons into the media) and 2) the reaction of protons with the solid CaCO3 to produce dissolved carbonate species.

Explain what is the effect on seawater alkalinity?
