Effects of ocean acidification on calcification of symbiont-bearing reef foraminifers
Ocean acidification (decreases in carbonate ion concentration and pH) in response to rising atmospheric <i>p</i>CO<sub>2</sub> is generally expected to reduce rates of calcification by reef calcifying organisms, with potentially severe implicat...
