Resistance of Two Mediterranean Cold-Water Coral Species to Low-pH Conditions

Resistance of Two Mediterranean Cold-Water Coral Species to Low-pH Conditions

Deep-water ecosystems are characterized by relatively low carbonate concentration values and, due to ocean acidification (OA), these habitats might be among the first to be exposed to undersaturated conditions in the forthcoming years. However, until now, very few studies have been conducted to test...
