Ocean acidification (OA) is a major threat to marine ecosystems, particularly coral reefs which are heavily reliant on calcareous species. OA decreases seawater pH and calcium carbonate saturation state (Omega), and increases the concentration of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). Intense scientific...
