Anatomical structure overrides temperature controls on magnesium uptake – calcification in the Arctic/subarctic coralline algae <i>Leptophytum laeve</i> and <i>Kvaleya epilaeve</i> (Rhodophyta; Corallinales)

Calcified coralline red algae are ecologically key organisms in photic benthic environments. In recent decades they have become important climate proxies, especially in the Arctic and subarctic. It has been widely accepted that magnesium content in coralline tissues is directly a function of ambi...
