A high biodiversity mitigates the impact of ocean acidification on hard-bottom ecosystems

Abstract Biodiversity loss and climate change simultaneously threaten marine ecosystems, yet their interactions remain largely unknown. Ocean acidification severely affects a wide variety of marine organisms and recent studies have predicted major impacts at the pH conditions expected for 2100. Howe...
