Greenhouse conditions induce mineralogical changes and dolomite accumulation in coralline algae on tropical reefs
2014
Ocean acidification is affecting the stability of coral reefs, but the exact mineralogical response is poorly understood. Diaz-Pulido et al. show that, under warming conditions, the relative abundance of dolomite increases by as much as 200% and could therefore slow the climate-induced break-up of coral reefs.
