Unexpected increase in structural integrity caused by thermally induced dwarfism in large benthic foraminifera

Unexpected increase in structural integrity caused by thermally induced dwarfism in large benthic foraminifera

Climate change is predicted to negatively impact calcification and change the structural integrity of biogenic carbonates, influencing their protective function. We assess the impacts of warming on the morphology and crystallography of Amphistegina lobifera, an abundant benthic foraminifera species...
