Sentences with phrase «coccolithophore calcification rates»
Dr Sarah O'Dea, from Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton and lead author of the study, says: «Our results show that climate change significantly altered coccolithophore calcification rates at the PETM and has the potential to be just as significant, perhaps even more so, today.

Our novel technique involved analysing coccolithophore skeletal remains and applying observations from modern specimens to estimate, for the first time, calcification rates of fossil coccolithophores.»
In this study, averaged across all generation points, each coccolithophore cell increased its calcification rate (26 %) and calcium carbonate quota (26 %) in the future ocean treatment (figures 2a and 3a), and the total concentration of calcium carbonate in the culture (PIC l − 1) increased 18 % in the future ocean condition (table 4).
