Is ocean acidification really a threat to marine calcifiers? A systematic review and meta‐analysis of 980+ studies spanning two decades
Ocean acidification is considered detrimental to marine calcifiers, but mounting contradictory
evidence suggests a need to revisit this concept. This systematic review and meta‐analysis …
