Near-future reductions in pH will have no consistent ecological effects on the early life-history stages of reef corals
International audience Until recently, research into the consequences of oceanic uptake of CO2 for corals focused on its effect on physiological processes, in particular, calcification. However, events early in the life history of corals are also likely to be vulnerable to changes in ocean chemistry...
