DOI: 10.1007/s00338-020-01991-x
Abstract: Net calcification rates for coral reef and other calcifiers have been shown to decline as ocean acidification (OA) occurs. However, the role of calcium carbonate dissolution in lowering net calcification rates is unclear. The objective of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2020.151489
Abstract: Abstract Calcifying tropical macroalgae produce sediment, build three-dimensional habitats, and provide substrate for invertebrate larvae on reefs. Thus, lower calcification rates under declining pH and increasing ocean pCO2, or ocean acidification, is a concern. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2020.109623
Abstract: Abstract Turritella abrupta (Miocene-Pliocene) is the largest species known from the diverse Jurassic-Recent gastropod family Turritellidae. In addition to having achieved long length and substantial width, the species produces shells of exceptional thickness, even before… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2019.00150
Abstract: Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are among the most sensitive marine taxa to the pH changes predicted with ocean acidification (OA). However, many CCA exist in habitats where diel cycles in pH can surpass near-future OA… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-17-887-2020
Abstract: Abstract. Coral reefs are constructed by calcifiers that precipitate calcium carbonate to build their shells or skeletons through the process of calcification. Accurately assessing coral calcification rates is crucial to determine the health of these… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/essd-10-1859-2018
Abstract: Abstract. The biological production of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a process termed calcification, is a key term in the marine carbon cycle. A major planktonic group responsible for such pelagic CaCO3 production (CP) is the coccolithophores,… read more here.
