Stylasterid corals build aragonite skeletons in undersaturated water despite low pH at the site of calcification
Abstract Anthropogenic carbon emissions are causing seawater pH to decline, yet the impact on marine calcifiers is uncertain. Scleractinian corals and coralline algae strongly elevate the pH of their calcifying fluid (CF) to promote calcification. Other organisms adopt less energetically demanding c...
