• Calcified macroalgae - critical to coastal ecosystems and vulnerable to change: a review (2009, background): “Species such as coralline algae with skeletal mineralogy with high magnesium calcite content are more soluble than those with aragonite or calcite, and thus may be the first responders to ocean acidification by dissolution (Morse et al. 2006; Andersson et al. 2007; Jokiel et al. 2008).”
• Rhodoliths and rhodolith beds (2013, background): “Coralline algae, with their very soluble high- Mg calcite, are predicted to be in the first suite of species severely impacted by ocean acidification (Kuffner et al., 2007; Jokiel et al., 2008).”
• EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON GLOBAL SEAWEED COMMUNITIES (2012, background): “In some cases, this may lead to competitive dominance by weedy taxa (Steen 2004b, Vermeij et al. 2010) and – should nutrients trigger a phytoplankton bloom – shadingout of benthic seaweeds by phytoplankton (Kavanaugh et al. 2009).”
• A corrosive concoction: The combined effects of ocean warming and acidification on the early growth of a stony coral are multiplicative (2011, background): “Likewise, Albright et al. (2008) and Jokiel et al. (2008) observed no significant effect on planula settlement success in reduced aragonite saturation conditions.”
• Shrinking body size as an ecological response to climate change (2011, background): “For example, experimental acidification of water, an effect of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide, results in significantly reduced growth rates of calcifying organisms such as corals, scallops and oyster”
• Ocean acidification impacts multiple early life history processes of the Caribbean coral Porites astreoides (2011, result): “The observed reductions in juvenile growth rates are consistent with the hypothesis that calcification and, ultimately, growth decline as pCO2 increases and saturation state decreases (Albright et al., 2008; Jokiel et al., 2008; Marubini et al., 2008; Cohen et al., 2009).”

• Species-specific consequences of ocean acidification for the calcareous tropical green algae Halimeda (2011, neutral): “In contrast, few studies have addressed the potentially conflicting responses to OA for calcareous macroalgae that simultaneously photosynthesize and calcify (but see studies on CRAs: Anthony et al. 2008, Jokiel et al. 2008, Kuffner et al. 2008, Semesi et al. 2009b).”
• Possible effects of ocean acidification on coral reef biogeochemistry: topics for research (2008, background): “Any advantage of noncalcifying algae under high pCO2 could be offset by increased herbivory (Jokiel et al. 2008).”
