Polar coralline algal CaCO3-production rates correspond to intensity and duration of the solar radiation
In this study we present a comparative quantification of CaCO3 production rates by rhodolith-forming coralline red algal communities situated in high polar latitudes and assess which environmental parameters control these production rates. The present rhodoliths act as ecosystem engineers, and their...
