Short summary
In a mesocosm experiment conducted in the highly eutrophic coastal water of southern East China Sea, we found that the impacts of ocean acidification (OA) on phytoplankton diversity and primary production depend on status of eutrophication or nutrient availability, with OA likely to reduce the biodiversity and primary production in the phytoplankton community after the nutrients depletion. In future oceans, OA and nutrients depletion may synergistically reduce the biodiversity in coastal waters.
