Combined effects of CO2 level, light intensity, and nutrient availability on the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi
Continuous accumulation of fossil CO2 in the atmosphere and increasingly dissolved CO2 in seawater leads to ocean acidification (OA), which is known to affect phytoplankton physiology directly and/or indirectly. ...
