Effect of CO2 on the properties and sinking velocity of aggregates of the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi - Ocean Acidification
Coccolithophores play an important role in organic matter export due to their production of the mineral calcite that can act as ballast. Recent studies indicated that calcification in coccolithophores may be affected by changes in seawater carbonate chemistry. We investigated the influence of CO2 on the aggregation and sinking behaviour of the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi […]
