Rapid decline in pH of coral calcification fluid due to incorporation of anthropogenic CO2

Abstract Marine calcifying organisms, such as stony corals, are under threat by rapid ocean acidification (OA) arising from the oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO2. To better understand how organisms and ecosystems will adapt to or be damaged by the resulting environmental changes, field observation...
