| Abstract | Much of the anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere has been absorbed by the ocean, which acts as a buffer against global warming and rapid climate change. But this makes seawater more acidic and corrosive to CaCO3 minerals (known as ocean acidification: OA), which is expected to harm marine organisms that build skeletons or shells from CaCO3 (marine calcifiers). Marine calcifiers typically grow their CaCO3 hard parts in a micro-scale “calcifying fluid (CF)” by modifying its chemistry fro |
