Abstract
Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) is the marine carbon dioxide removal technology with the largest potential, which could help reaching the 1.5 degree warming target of the Paris Agreement. However, potential side effects on marine organisms/ecosystems and the services they provide need to be critically assessed. Here I will draw from five years of experimental OAE research on the effects on pelagic communities and synthesise emerging trends and thresholds for the various OAE approaches. Finally, I will highlight knowledge gaps and identify research priorities.
