Underwater springs show coral response to ocean acidification (Image 1)
Calcifying corals like this one grow under low pH conditions around submarine springs on the Caribbean Coast of Mexico. Because their carbonate skeletons are not dense, they are more sensitive to physical erosion. National Science Foundation-supported researchers are studying how corals respond to ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)
