Temperature Dependent Effects of Elevated CO(2) on Shell Composition and Mechanical Properties of Hydroides elegans: Insights from a Multiple Stressor Experiment

The majority of marine benthic invertebrates protect themselves from predators by producing calcareous tubes or shells that have remarkable mechanical strength. An elevation of CO(2) or a decrease in pH in the environment can reduce intracellular pH at the site of calcification and thus interfere wi...
