Modelling coral polyp calcification in relation to ocean acidification
Rising atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations due to anthropogenic emissions induce changes in the carbonate chemistry of the oceans and, ultimately, a drop in ocean pH. This acidification process can harm calcifying organisms like coccolithophores, molluscs, echinoder...
