Shell decay rates of native and alien freshwater bivalves and implications for habitat engineering (2007, background): “Discussions of the importance of bivalve shells typically focus solely on rates of shell production (e.g. Chauvaud et al., 2003), but the amount of shell material that is accumulated by a bivalve population also depends on rates of shell decay.”
Impacts of ocean acidification on marine shelled molluscs (2013, background): “As shelled molluscs also produce respiratory CO 2 , they can enhance the capacity of an ecosystem to act as a net CO 2 source to the atmosphere (Chauvaud et al. 2003; Martin et al. 2006, 2007).”
An integrated ecosystem approach for assessing the potential role of cultivated bivalve shells as part of the carbon trading system (2015, background): “The role of calcifying marine organisms such as bivalves in the CO2 budget has been commonly studied by measuring the balance between respiration and biogenic calcification (e.g. Chauvaud et al. 2003, Martin et al. 2006).”
