Bio-calcifica/on of coccolithophores in Ocean Acidifica/on context - Calibra/on of proxies (B/Ca and δ11B) of pH in coccoliths
About 30% of the carbon dioxide produced by human activities is absorbed by the ocean leading to a decrease of seawater pH and saturation state of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The subsequent ocean acidification is likely to result in profound changes in marine ecosystems, in particular among the marin...

About 30% of the carbon dioxide produced by human activities is absorbed by the ocean leading to a decrease of seawater pH and saturation state of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Coccolithophorides together with foraminifera produce more than 90% of the pelagic carbonate in the modern ocean.
