The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Connectivity and stability of mesophotic coral reefs (2011, background): “shallow reefs will be affected directly by ocean acidification in the coming decades while cold-water coral reef ecosystems are predicted to experience a decrease in habitat availability as the aragonite saturation horizon becomes shallower (Roberts et al., 2006; Veron, 2008).”
Calcification of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa, under ambient and reduced pH (2009, background): “…though single species are able to survive, it does not imply that 5 a coral reef can keep up the necessary growth under lower pH and a recent study argues that the predicted ocean acidification will trigger a sixth mass extinction of reef corals within the next couple of centuries (Veron, 2008).”
Predation in the marine fossil record: Studies, data, recognition, environmental factors, and behavior (2019, background): “Furthermore, these acidification events were likely not benign, and many have been linked to marine mass extinctions (Clarkson et al., 2015; Kiessling and Simpson, 2011; Veron, 2008).”
