The elemental composition of purple sea urchin (<i>Strongylocentrotus purpuratus</i>) calcite and potential effects of <i>p</i>CO<sub>2</sub> during early life stages
Ocean acidification will likely have negative impacts on invertebrates producing skeletons composed of calcium carbonate. Skeletal solubility is partly controlled by the incorporation of "foreign" ions (e.g. magnesium) into the crystal lattice of these skeletal structures, a process that i...
