Timing of calcification and environmental variability determine pH proxy fidelity in coastal calcifying macroalgae - Ocean Acidification

Long-lived calcifying marine biota are increasingly used as paleo-archives for reconstructing ocean pH. They enable exploration of the rate and magnitude of ocean acidification in shallow-water ecosystems serving as proxies for environmental pH reconstruction. However, shallow water systems often have highly variable carbonate chemistry, and the impact of this on the accuracy of pH reconstructions […] The post Timing of calcification and environ…
