OCEAN ACIDIFICATION: A HELL FOR THE SHELL?!
participant Besides ocean warming, marine calcifying organisms have to deal with another CO2 problem: Ocean acidification. Increasing atmospheric CO2 gets absorbed by the ocean and alters seawater carbonate chemistry. Surface ocean pH already dropped about 0.1 units since the pre-industrial values a...
