Phenotypic plasticity of coralline algae in a High CO 2 world
Abstract It is important to understand how marine calcifying organisms may acclimatize to ocean acidification to assess their survival over the coming century. We cultured the cold water coralline algae, Lithothamnion glaciale, under elevated p CO 2 (408, 566, 770, and 1024 μatm) for 10 months. The...
