Scientists have long suspected that coralline algae are particularly sensitive to changes in ocean chemistry. Now, researchers have found that most species of coralline algae studied are negatively affected by ocean acidification. In a new study...an international team...revealed that lower seawater pH is associated with decreases in the abundance, calcification rates, and recruitment of coralline algae.
