The influence of seawater pH on U / Ca ratios in the scleractinian cold-water coral <i>Lophelia pertusa</i>

The increasing <i>p</i>CO<sub>2</sub> in seawater is a serious threat for marine calcifiers and alters the biogeochemistry of the ocean. Therefore, the reconstruction of past-seawater properties and their impact on marine ecosystems is an important way to investigate the unde...
