Open Question

How severely and how quickly will continued ocean acidification affect shell- and skeleton-building marine life across different species?

Open Question

The chemistry of ocean acidification is well established, but how various calcifying species and food webs will respond as pH continues to drop is still being actively researched.

What would resolve this Long-term, multi-species experiments and field observation tracking calcification rates and population effects as ocean pH continues to fall.
