Calcification by juvenile corals under heterotrophy and elevated CO[subscript 2]

Ocean acidification (OA) threatens the existence of coral reefs by slowing the rate of calcium carbonate (CaCO[subscript 3]) production of framework-building corals thus reducing the amount of CaCO3 the reef can produce to counteract natural dissolution. Some evidence exists to suggest that elevated...
