Coralline algal calcification: A morphological and process-based understanding.
RESEARCH PURPOSE AND FINDINGS:Coralline algae are key biological substrates of many carbonate systems globally. Their capacity to build enduring crusts that underpin the formation of tropical reefs, rhodolith beds and other benthic substrate is dependent on the formation of a calcified thallus. Howe...
