The O2, pH and Ca2+ microenvironment of benthic foraminifera in a high CO2 world.

The O2, pH and Ca2+ microenvironment of benthic foraminifera in a high CO2 world.

Ocean acidification (OA) can have adverse effects on marine calcifiers. Yet, phototrophic marine calcifiers elevate their external oxygen and pH microenvironment in daylight, through the uptake of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) by photosynthesis. We studied to which extent pH elevation within thei...
