Photoautotrophic marine ecosystems can lock up organic carbon in their biomass and the
associated organic sediments they trap over millennia and are thus regarded as blue carbon …

Ocean acidification (OA), a consequence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, poses
a serious threat to marine organisms in tropical, open-ocean, coastal, deep-sea, and high …

Ocean acidification refers to the lowering of the ocean's pH due to the uptake of
anthropogenic CO2 from the atmosphere. Coral reef calcification is expected to decrease as …

Numerous studies have documented declines in the abundance of reef-building corals over
the last several decades and in some but not all cases, phase shifts to dominance by …

The persistence of carbonate structures on coral reefs is essential in providing habitats for a
large number of species and maintaining the extraordinary biodiversity associated with …

Bioerosion of calcium carbonate is the natural counterpart of biogenic calcification. Both are
affected by ocean acidification (OA). We summarize definitions and concepts in bioerosion …

Abstract Changes in CaCO3 dissolution due to ocean acidification are potentially more
important than changes in calcification to the future accretion and survival of coral reef …

Ecology Letters (2012) 15: 338–346 Abstract Successful recruitment in shallow reef
ecosystems often involves specific cues that connect planktonic invertebrate larvae with …

Coralline algae are among the most sensitive calcifying organisms to ocean acidification as
a result of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (pCO2). Little is known, however, about the …

The literature on ocean acidification (OA) contains a prevalent misconception that reduced
organismal calcification rates in an acidifying ocean are driven by a reduction in carbonate …
