Ocean acidification does not affect magnesium composition or dolomite formation in living crustose coralline algae, <i>Porolithon onkodes</i> in an experimental system

There are concerns that Mg-calcite crustose coralline algae (CCA), which are key reef builders on coral reefs, will be most susceptible to increased rates of dissolution under higher <i>p</i>CO<sub>2</sub> and ocean acidification. Due to the higher solubility of Mg-calcite, i...
