Effects of low pH and feeding on calcification rates of the cold-water coral Desmophyllum dianthus

Effects of low pH and feeding on calcification rates of the cold-water coral Desmophyllum dianthus

Cold-Water Corals (CWCs), and most marine calcifiers, are especially threatened by ocean acidification (OA) and the decrease in the carbonate saturation state of seawater. The vulnerability of these organisms, however, also involves other global stressors like warming, deoxygenation or changes in se...
