Metabolic Profiling Reveals Biochemical Pathways Responsible for Eelgrass Response to Elevated CO and Temperature.

As CO levels in Earth's atmosphere and oceans steadily rise, varying organismal responses may produce ecological losers and winners. Increased ocean CO can enhance seagrass productivity and thermal tolerance, providing some compensation for climate warming. However, the metabolic shifts driving the positive response to elevated CO by these important ecosystem engineers remain unknown.
