Coral resilience to ocean acidification and global warming through pH up-regulation

M McCulloch, J Falter, J Trotter, P Montagna - Nature Climate Change, 2012 - nature.com
Rapidly rising levels of atmospheric CO2 are not only causing ocean warming, but also
lowering seawater pH hence the carbonate saturation state of the oceans, on which many …
