Technical comment on kroeker et al. (2010) meta-analysis reveals negative yet variable effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms. ecology letters, 13, 1419-1434

Abstract

Meta-analysis of experimental results has been interpreted to imply that the calcification response of organisms depositing high Mg-calcite is more resilient to ocean acidification than organisms depositing aragonite/calcite. This conclusion might be biased by inadequate recognition and categorisation of high Mg-calcite according to mineral solubility. © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS.
