Modeling the marine aragonite cycle: changes under rising carbon dioxide and its role in shallow water CaCO<sub>3</sub> dissolution

The marine aragonite cycle has been included in the global biogeochemical model PISCES to study the role of aragonite in shallow water CaCO<sub>3</sub> dissolution. Aragonite production is parameterized as a function of mesozooplankton biomass and aragonite saturation state of ambient wa...
