Impact of seawater carbonate chemistry on the calcification of marine bivalves

Bivalve calcification, particularly of the early larval stages, is highly sensitive to the change in ocean carbonate chemistry resulting from atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> uptake. Earlier studies suggested that declining seawater [CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2&minus;</sup>...
