Ocean acidification is a major threat to calcifying marine organisms such as deep-sea cold-water corals (CWC), but related knowledge is scarce. The aragonite saturation threshold (Omega a) for calcification, respiration, and organic matter fluxes was investigated experimentally in the Mediterranean...
