Impacts of food availability and <i>p</i>CO<sub>2</sub> on planulation, juvenile survival, and calcification of the azooxanthellate scleractinian coral <i>Balanophyllia elegans</i>
Ocean acidification, the assimilation of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> by the oceans that decreases the pH and CaCO<sub>3</sub> saturation state (Ω) of seawater, is projected to have severe adverse consequences for calcifying organisms. While strong evidence suggests c...
