Dissolution rates of biogenic carbonates in natural seawater at different pCO₂ conditions : : A laboratory study
The bulk dissolution rates of six biogenic carbonates (goose barnacle, benthic foraminifera, bryozoan, sea urchin, and two types of coralline algae) and a sample of mixed sediments from the Bermuda carbonate platform were measured in natural seawater at pCO₂ values ranging from approximately 3,000 t...
