Vulnerability to ocean acidification of marine calcifying organisms cannot be predicted from the mineral type in their shells - Ocean Acidification

Vulnerability to ocean acidification of marine calcifying organisms cannot be predicted from the mineral type in their shells - Ocean Acidification

Scientific Significance Statement Anthropogenic CO2 is acidifying the surface ocean water, a process called ocean acidification (OA). This process can result in conditions that are corrosive for seashells with more “delicate” calcium carbonate shells. An important debate in OA research centers on the degree of vulnerability of the calcium carbonate shell forming groups. It is widely […] The post Vulnerability to ocean acidification of marine cal…
