Fast coral reef calcifiers are more sensitive to ocean acidification in short‐term laboratory incubations (2014, methodology): “CO2 treatments were created by bubbling ambient air, CO2-enriched air, or CO2depleted air into the tanks (Comeau et al. 2013b).”
Mangrove and Seagrass Beds Provide Different Biogeochemical Services for Corals Threatened by Climate Change (2016, background): “…corals to maintain or even increase calcification rates under acidified 628 conditions; highlighting the complex intricacies that exist and need to be better understood to 629 comprehend the response of coral reefs to future climate change (e.g. Crook et al., 2012; 630 Comeau et al., 2013, 2014).”
Ocean acidification effects on calcifying macroalgae (2014, background): “In 2 studies, H. macroloba net calcification rates showed no response to CO2 within the range of 276 to 1036 μatm pCO2 (pH 8.1 to 7.7), but decreased at 2072 μatm (pH 7.4) in 1 of the 2 studies (Sinutok et al. 2011, Comeau et al. 2013).”
