Polar coralline algal CaCO<sub>3</sub>-production rates correspond to intensity and duration of the solar radiation
In this study we present a comparative quantification of CaCO<sub>3</sub> production rates by rhodolith-forming coralline red algal communities situated in high polar latitudes and assess which environmental parameters control these production rates. The present rhodoliths act as ecosyst...
