The function of the horny layer as an impervious barrier may be seriously impaired, with two important consequences: loss of water from the skin leads to desiccation of the horny layer, which in turn leads to cracking, increased scaling, and soreness; and loss of the barrier function causes increased absorption of medications applied to the surface of the skin.
The participants said the increased absorption of acidic carbon dioxide by the seas "could have a significant negative effect on corals and other calcifying organisms, such as shellfish and some phytoplankton, disrupting marine food webs".
Decreasing any of the two makes the other more vulnerable (the volume affects the extent through the rapid melting of thin ice, while the extent affects the volume through an increased absorption of sun light for lower extent).
Other factors linked to coral bleaching include rising acidity associated with the increased absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans, ultraviolet radiation exposure, drying from extreme low-tide events (such as those associated with El Niño), sedimentation, pollution, and disease.
The increased absorption of PHPP and SMNPs mixture was caused by the absorption of SMNPs.
The reduction of the reflectance is only in small part due to increased absorption of radiation in silver.
The enhanced IPCE observed in the MLTDs architectures was mainly attributed to the increased absorption of light.
The oscillation amplitude of the 951-nm reflectance damps gradually with the growth time due to the gradually increased absorption of the SL material.
In mammalian skin, an increased amount of appendages such as hair shafts may lead to an increased absorption of chemicals, as well [37, 38].
It is possible that photosynthetic efficiency was enhanced in red maple by the increased absorption of blue light within the mesophyll due to elevated levels of HCAs.
