Li Partitioning Into Coccoliths of Emiliania huxleyi: Evaluating the General Role of “Vital Effects” in Explaining Element Partitioning in Biogenic Carbonates

Abstract Emiliania huxleyi cells were grown in artificial seawater of different Li and Ca concentrations and coccolith Li/Ca ratios determined. Coccolith Li/Ca ratios were positively correlated to seawater Li/Ca ratios only if the seawater Li concentration was changed, not if the seawater Ca concent...
