Effect of CO<sub>2</sub> on the properties and sinking velocity of aggregates of the coccolithophore <I>Emiliania huxleyi</I>
Coccolithophores play an important role in organic matter export due to their production of the mineral calcite that can act as ballast. Recent studies indicated that calcification in coccolithophores may be affected by changes in seawater carbonate chemistry. We investigated the influence of CO<...
