I am wondering if many people , that monitor the pco2 levels what test kits that you might find or experience with namely organic matter reducing the ability.
winters formula- .Pco2= (1.5 x hco3) + 8 minus or plus 2.
Some processes that increase the CO2 concentrations
  • global warming or lowering the temperature.
  • the organic matter is variously referred to as oxidation, metabolism,>decomposition of organic matter by processes including oxygen reduction, nitrate reduction (a.k.a. nitrate to dinitrogen gas. Denitrification), iron or manganese reduction and sulfate reduction;
  • the precipitation of calcium ">carbonate (calcite or aragonite): e.g. Ca2+ + 2HCO3- = CaCO3 + H2O +CO2;
Some processes that decrease the CO2 content
  • degassing of CO2 to the atmosphere (exsolution);
  • the photosynthetic consumption of CO2;
  • the dissolution of calcium ">carbonate (calcite or aragonite): e.g. CaCO3 + H2O +CO2 = Ca2+ + 2HCO3-;
  • chemical weathering of alumino-silicate minerals; and
  • increasing water temperature.
