Coccolithophore Growth and Calcification in an Acidified Ocean: Insights From Community Earth System Model Simulations ...
Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are inundating the upper ocean, acidifying the water, and altering the habitat for marine phytoplankton. These changes are thought to be particularly influential for calcifying phytoplankton, namely, coccolithophores. Coccolithophores are widespread and account for a subs...
