pH Variability Exacerbates Effects of Ocean Acidification on a Caribbean Crustose Coralline Alga
Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are among the most sensitive marine taxa to the pH changes predicted with ocean acidification (OA). However, many CCA exist in habitats where diel cycles in pH can surpass near-future OA projections. The prevailing theory that natural variability increases the toleranc...
