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 …

Impacts of ocean warming on coralline algal calcification: Meta-analysis, knowledge gaps, and key recommendations for future research
Coralline algae are foundation species in many hard-bottom ecosystems acting as a
settlement substrate, and binding together and even creating reefs in some locations. Ocean …

Inorganic carbon physiology underpins macroalgal responses to elevated CO2
Beneficial effects of CO2 on photosynthetic organisms will be a key driver of ecosystem
change under ocean acidification. Predicting the responses of macroalgal species to ocean …

Coralline algae elevate pH at the site of calcification under ocean acidification
Coralline algae provide important ecosystem services but are susceptible to the impacts of
ocean acidification. However, the mechanisms are uncertain, and the magnitude is species …

Coralline algae in a changing Mediterranean Sea: how can we predict their future, if we do not know their present?
In this review we assess the state of knowledge for the coralline algae of the Mediterranean
Sea, a group of calcareous seaweeds imperfectly known and considered highly vulnerable …

Mineralogical plasticity acts as a compensatory mechanism to the impacts of ocean acidification
Calcifying organisms are considered particularly susceptible to the future impacts of ocean
acidification (OA), but recent evidence suggests that they may be able to maintain …

Arctic coralline algae elevate surface pH and carbonate in the dark
Red coralline algae are projected to be sensitive to ocean acidification, particularly in polar
oceans. As important ecosystem engineers, their potential sensitivity has broad implications …

Future warming and acidification result in multiple ecological impacts to a temperate coralline alga
Coralline algae are a crucial component of reef systems, stabilising reef substrate, providing
habitat and contributing to accretion. Coralline algae and their surface microbial biofilms are …
