Human societies derive economic benefit from marine systems, yet these benefits may be modified as humans drive environmental change. Here, we conducted the first systematic review of literature on the potential economic effects of ocean acidification. We identified that while there is a growing literature discussing this topic, assessments of the direction and magnitude of anticipated economic change remain limited. The few assessments which have been conducted indicate largely negative economic effects of ocean acidification. Insights are, however, limited as the scope of the studies remains restricted. We propose that understanding of this topic will benefit from using standard approaches (e.g. timescales and emissions scenarios) to consider an increasing range of species/habitats and ecosystem services over a range of spatial scales. The resulting understanding could inform decisions such that we maintain, or enhance, economic services obtained from future marine environments.
人类社会从海洋系统中获取经济利益，但随着人类推动环境变化，这些利益可能会受到影响。在此，我们首次对有关海洋酸化潜在经济影响的文献进行了系统综述。我们发现，虽然讨论这一话题的文献越来越多，但对预期经济变化的方向和幅度的评估仍然有限。已进行的少数评估表明，海洋酸化在很大程度上会产生负面经济影响。然而，由于研究范围有限，相关见解也很有限。我们建议，通过使用标准方法（如时间尺度和排放情景），在一系列空间尺度上考虑越来越多的物种/栖息地和生态系统服务，将有助于对这一话题的理解。由此产生的认识可为决策提供参考，以便我们维持或增强从未来海洋环境中获得的经济服务。
