Abstract: Rising carbon dioxide concentrations in oceanic waters is conventionally expected to stimulate marine primary productivity, as long as sufficient light is available. Now research shows that the combination of increased carbon dioxide and increased light exposure can negatively impact photosynthesis in marine primary producers; an effect with the potential to cause widespread declines in future marine primary productivity.
