Elevated CO₂ levels do not affect the shell structure of the bivalve Arctica islandica from the Western Baltic.
Shells of the bivalve Arctica islandica are used to reconstruct paleo-environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) via biogeochemical proxies, i.e. biogenic components that are related closely to environmental parameters at the time of shell formation. Several studies have shown that proxies like ele...
