Calcification intensity in planktonic Foraminifera reflects ambient conditions irrespective of environmental stress

Planktonic Foraminifera are important marine calcifiers, and the ongoing change in the oceanic carbon system makes it essential to understand the influence of environmental factors on the biomineralization of their shells. The amount of calcite deposited by planktonic Foraminifera during calcific...
