The energetic costs of generating calcium carbonate skeletons and shells in marine organisms remain largely speculative because of the scarcity of empirical data. However, this information is critical
Natural variability in pH in the diffusive boundary layer (DBL), the discrete layer of seawater between bulk seawater and the outer surface of organisms, could be an important...
Ocean acidity has increased by 30% since preindustrial times due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO2 and is projected to rise by another 120% before 2100 if CO2 emissions continue at current rates. Oce
Deep-water ecosystems are characterized by relatively low carbonate concentration values and, due to ocean acidification (OA), these habitats might be among the first to be...
Calcification rates of Porites corals collected from a naturally high-Ωar reef and a naturally low-Ωar reef incubated at three Ωar conditions. These data were originally published in figure
